Abstract

Legal enforcement systems globally are frequently situated within a dichotomous debate between retributive justice, which views law as an instrument of punishment, and restorative justice, which regards law as a mechanism for restoring social harmony. Both perspectives contribute significant insights; however, contemporary legal discourse increasingly gravitates toward restorative justice as a model considered more congruent with current societal conditions. Despite this trend, numerous scholars contend that restorative justice remains a utopian construct, whose practical implementation is often unrealistic and prone to generating institutional resistance. In Indonesia, this tension is reflected in the Regulation of the Attorney General of the Republic of Indonesia No. 15 of 2020, the Indonesian National Police Regulation No. 8 of 2021, and the Supreme Court Regulation No. 1 of 2014, each articulating restorative justice through the lens of their respective institutional mandates and gravitating towards administrative issues rather than the essence of law enforcement. This research employs a literature-based and regulatory analysis to examine the implementation of restorative justice in Indonesia. The study concludes that the current application of restorative justice in Indonesia remains misaligned with the fundamental principles of restorative justice as theorized in the broader academic discourse.
