Abstract

This study aims to analyze the regulatory framework and implementation of restitution enforcement for child victims of criminal acts, with specific emphasis on the authority of Public Prosecutors at the Grobogan District Prosecutor’s Office. Restitution is a fundamental right granted to victims under the Child Protection Law and Law Number 12 of 2022 concerning Sexual Violence Crimes, designed to restore the material and immaterial losses suffered by children due to criminal acts. The law establishes the perpetrator’s responsibility to provide restitution and allows substitute imprisonment when the payment obligation is not fulfilled. This research applies a socio-legal methodology by integrating normative legal analysis with empirical examination of how restitution is implemented in practice. Such an approach allows the researcher to assess the compatibility between legal norms and their actual enforcement in safeguarding child victims’ rights. The findings reveal persistent challenges in restitution execution, including complicated procedures for filing applications with the Witness and Victim Protection Agency (LPSK), strict evidentiary requirements, limited victim awareness, and the absence of detailed technical guidelines for asset seizure to guarantee payment. When perpetrators fail to compensate, state-funded compensation is necessary to uphold victim protection. Therefore, strengthening restorative justice principles, enhancing coordination among law enforcement institutions, and ensuring clearer execution mechanisms are essential to guarantee legal certainty and fulfillment of restitution rights within Indonesia’s criminal justice system.

Abstract

The authority of the Attorney General to dismiss cases (seponeering) under Article 35 paragraph (1) letter c of Law Number 11 of 2021 represents the application of the opportunity principle in prosecution for the sake of public interest. The development of international research and policies, including the 2020 WHO recommendation concerning the medical and economic potential of cannabis, has created an urgent need to reform law enforcement policies regarding narcotic crimes involving cannabis for medical purposes. This study aims to assess the implementation of the opportunity principle in the context of protecting the public interest in the right to health as guaranteed under Articles 28A and 28H of the 1945 Constitution. The research employs a normative legal method with statutory and conceptual approaches by analyzing prosecutorial regulations, narcotics law, and doctrines of public interest and social justice. The findings indicate that the opportunity principle is a fundamental principle in controlling prosecution that must prioritize public benefit, non-discrimination, and the protection of citizens' constitutional rights. The application of seponeering in cases involving medical cannabis is justified as long as it is grounded in public health benefits, economic potential, and the broader interests of society. This study recommends the establishment of transparent prosecutorial guidelines in assessing public interest, enhanced inter-agency coordination in medical cannabis research, and harmonization of narcotics policies to ensure that the implementation of the opportunity principle is not influenced by political interests but truly serves as an instrument of social justice.
