<![CDATA[Abstract The settlement of minor crimes, especially cases of light maltreatment, has been applied and implemented at the Pontianak City Resort Police (Polresta) level. In order to achieve the success of Restorative Justice efforts in the settlement of minor persecution crimes, there are several conditions that must be met. Restorative Justice in practice does not always experience success even though the persecution case is classified as a minor crime. The research was conducted to determine the failure factors of Restorative Justice efforts in cases of minor persecution crimes. This type of research is empirical research by going directly to the field through interviews. Data sources were obtained from the author through primary data from interviews with Investigators at Pontianak Police Station and First Level Judges at Pontianak District Court Class 1A and secondary data obtained from journals, literature, and related laws and regulations. Based on the results of the research, it is known that efforts to implement Restorative Justice at the Pontianak Police Station level, especially the settlement of minor maltreatment cases, do not always achieve success. The main factor in the failure of Restorative Justice efforts is the non-achievement of an agreement to reconcile due to differences in mindset and opinions in the fulfillment of rights and responsibilities between parties in conflict and the non-fulfillment of predetermined conditions.Keywords: Misdemeanor, Restorative Justice, Failure Abstrak Penyelesaian tindak pidana ringan terutama kasus penganiayaan ringan telah diterapkan dan dilaksanakan di tingkat Kepolisian Resor Kota (Polresta) Pontianak.
