<![CDATA[The increasing number of family conflicts that lead to domestic violence in Indonesia indicates a major problem in family resilience. In resolving family conflicts, litigation is often considered ineffective because it takes a long time and is costly. As a result, the restorative justice approach has become an important alternative for resolving domestic violence because it places greater emphasis on victim recovery, perpetrator responsibility, and social harmony. The purpose of this study is to examine how restorative justice is used in resolving family conflicts in cases of domestic violence at the Palangka Raya Police Headquarters and to assess its effectiveness as a method of case resolution. This qualitative legal study uses a normative and empirical approach. Data was obtained through observation, interviews, and documentation at the Palangka Raya Police Headquarters. In addition, research on legislation and related literature was conducted. Data analysis was performed using qualitative descriptive methods. The results of the study show that restorative justice has been implemented by the Women and Children's Service Unit (PPA) of the Palangka Raya Police based on Police Regulation Number 8 of 2021, by fulfilling formal and material requirements and considering the values of deliberative consensus and local wisdom. This approach is considered quite effective, especially in cases of psychological and non-physical domestic violence, as it provides a quick and low-cost solution. However, the effectiveness of restorative justice in cases of physical violence has limitations, particularly in relation to the potential for power imbalances and the risk of revictimization, thus requiring caution and close supervision. Overall, the implementation of restorative justice at the Palangka Raya Police Headquarters shows progress towards a more humanistic and victim-centered model of law enforcement, although it still requires strengthening of operational standards and support systems to ensure the sustainability of victim recovery and protection]]>
