<![CDATA[The criminal justice system is implemented based on the provisions of the Criminal Code and the Criminal Procedure Code, thus involving the relationship between the perpetrator, victim, and state. The position of the victim in the criminal system is often ignored so that providing their rights for the losses incurred is not implemented properly. The victim impact statement is a concept that prioritizes protection for victims that can be implemented in Indonesia to protect the basic rights of victims. This research is juridical-normative research. Data collection uses primary legal sources in the form of laws and regulations and opinions of legal experts.
