This study aims to analyze the relevance of progressive legal theory in the reform of Indonesia’s criminal justice system from normative, philosophical, and legal policy perspectives. This research employs a qualitative library-based method using a juridical-normative and conceptual approach to examine progressive legal theory and its implications for criminal justice practices. The findings indicate that progressive legal theory has strong relevance as a framework for criminal justice reform, as it emphasizes substantive justice, contextual legal reasoning, and a human-centered orientation. Consequently, progressive legal theory offers a normative and philosophical foundation for promoting a more responsive, humane, and just criminal justice system in Indonesia.
