Abstract

The application of restorative justice (RJ) in fatal traffic accident cases in Indonesia still faces legal and normative challenges. This study uses a normative juridical method to analyze existing regulations and compare retributive justice with restorative justice within the Indonesian legal system. The findings show that while RJ offers a solution based on relationship restoration, Indonesia's legal system, dominated by retributive justice, still prioritizes criminal punishment as the primary resolution. Legal gaps and normative ambiguities are the main obstacles to the application of RJ in fatal accident cases. In conclusion, to optimize the application of RJ, legal reforms are needed to integrate RJ into Indonesia's judicial system, without neglecting victims' rights.

Abstract

This study examines Western legal hegemony over customary law in Indonesia from the perspective of Critical Legal Studies. Using a normative juridical method, the research analyzes how epistemic, institutional, and ideological mechanisms shape legal hierarchies that elevate Western state law while subordinating customary law. The findings reveal that Western legal epistemology dominates the definition of law, limiting legal legitimacy to written and codified norms and marginalizing living customary systems. Institutional frameworks reinforce this hierarchy through the monopoly of state courts, codification requirements, and statutory land governance that undermine indigenous jurisdiction. Ideological hegemony further constructs Western law as modern and neutral while framing customary law as inferior, leading to internalized cultural displacement. The study concludes that customary law can gain equal legal authority only through structural and epistemic reform that acknowledges indigenous legal philosophies as autonomous sources of justice
