Abstract

Legal protection for victims of Domestic Violence (DV) in Indonesia is supported by Law Number 23 of 2004 concerning the Elimination of Domestic Violence and its implementing regulations, including Government Regulation Number 4 of 2006. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of the implementation of the Law Number 23 of 2004 and the Law on Criminal Acts of Sexual Violence, identify legal and social barriers, and evaluate the role of state institutions and society in strengthening the victim protection system. The method used is normative juridical through literature review, legal doctrine, regulatory analysis, the National Commission on Violence Against Women's annual report, publications from the Ministry of Women's Empowerment and Child Protection, and court decisions related to domestic violence. The results indicate that although regulations provide a clear legal framework and provide access to services for victims, their implementation is still hampered by weak inter-agency coordination, limited resources, low levels of understanding among officials, and social stigma. These findings underscore the need for an integrated approach between law, education, and society for more responsive, inclusive, and sustainable protection for victims of domestic violence.

Abstract

Restorative justice is an alternative approach in the criminal justice system that balances offender rehabilitation, victim recovery, and community interests. This article analyze the implementation of restorative justice in Indonesia, its contribution to offender rehabilitation, and its role in facilitating victim recovery and strengthening a sense of social justice. The research method used is normative-juridical with descriptive analysis, reviewing laws and regulations, court decisions, academic literature, and international practices as comparative material. The results of the study indicate that restorative principles have been institutionalized through the Juvenile Justice and Child Protection Law, the Criminal Code, Supreme Court Regulation Number 1 of 2024, and regulations related to the termination of prosecution through a peace agreement. Offender rehabilitation is achieved through education, counseling, skills training, mediation, and community involvement to reduce recidivism. A victim-centered approach prioritizes compensation, psychosocial support, and community participation, fostering justice, social reintegration, and local wisdom–based collective harmony. Obstacles such as limited facilities, officer training, inter-agency coordination, and social stigma need to be addressed for effective implementation. Restorative justice affirms the philosophy of humanist criminal law, creating an inclusive, participatory, and recovery-oriented justice system, while strengthening social harmony and public trust in the law.
