Justice. in the criminal law system in Indonesia, especially after the issuance of Supreme Court Regulation (PERMA) no. 1 of 2024. Restorative. Justice. is seen as an alternative solution that can accommodate the interests of all parties in handling criminal cases. and focuses on recovery for all parties involved, but there are discrepancies in its implementation in various legal agencies.This research uses a doctrinal approach with statutory and conceptual analysis. Data was collected through literature studies and analysis of existing policies, including Police Regulations, Prosecutor's Regulations, and Supreme Court Regulation (PERMA) No. 1 of 2024. A prescriptive approach is used to provide arguments about the ideal implementation of Restorative Justice.The results of the discussion show that differences in understanding of restorative justice between the police, prosecutors and courts can cause disagreements and conflicts in implementation. Restorative Justice can function as a method of resolving cases or as a philosophical approach in the judicial process. Clear and uniform guidelines are needed to ensure consistency in the implementation of Restorative Justice at all stages of the justice system.This research concludes that to achieve effective and consistent implementation of restorative justice, all legal agencies need to have the same understanding of this concept. With uniform policies and training for law enforcement officers, Restorative Justice can function as an optimal instrument of justice, providing benefits for victims, perpetrators and society as a whole in Indonesia.Keywords: Differences in Meaning, Restorative Justice, Perma No.1 of 2024, Criminal Law System in Indonesia.
