Abstract

The idea of non-penal policies prioritizing rehabilitation and social reintegration rather than mere incarceration is a more humane approach in sentencing systems. However, in practice, Indonesia's criminal justice system is still dominated by retributive paradigms emphasizing vengeance. This research examines the application of restorative justice as the basis for the prosecution termination by public prosecutors. It finds that although internal regulations exist within law enforcement institutions such as the police and prosecutor's office, restorative justice implementation remains suboptimal due to structural and cultural barriers. Using a normative juridical approach, this study concludes that non-penal policies can provide solutions to prison overcapacity, enhance victim protection, and strengthen the integrated criminal justice system.

Abstract

Restorative justice has been adopted as an alternative approach within the criminal justice system, with the primary aim of restoring relationships between offenders, victims, and the community. However, in practice in Indonesia, the implementation of restorative justice tends to prioritize victim recovery while failing to provide balanced legal protection for the reported party. This imbalance raises serious concerns, particularly in relation to the principle of presumption of innocence and the constitutional rights that should be upheld for every individual involved in legal proceedings. This article aims to analyze the unequal treatment faced by reported parties within restorative justice mechanisms in the criminal justice system. Utilizing a normative juridical approach, the study examines existing regulations and case studies of restorative justice implementation by law enforcement authorities. The findings indicate that the absence of robust procedural standards to safeguard the rights of the reported party renders restorative justice practices vulnerable to abuse, including coercion into settlement or undue pressure. Therefore, regulatory reinforcement and supervisory mechanisms are needed to ensure that restorative justice not only prioritizes victims' interests but also guarantees equal legal protection for reported parties, thereby contributing to a fair and balanced criminal justice system.
