This study aims to examine and reconstruct law enforcement against revenge porn as a form of cyber harassment from the perspective of victim-oriented restorative justice. The core issue arises from the reality of conventional law enforcement in Indonesia, which remains trapped in the lens of public morality and a rigid retributive paradigm—thereby ignoring elements of lack of consent, psychological suffering, and frequently triggering secondary victimization through victim blaming. To address these problems, this research employs a normative-empirical juridical method (socio-legal research) utilizing statute, conceptual, and socio-legal approaches, supported by the analysis of primary, secondary, tertiary legal materials, and court jurisprudence based on feminist legal theory, contextual integrity, and restorative justice. The findings indicate that the current positive law enforcement construction in Indonesia remains partial and vulnerable to conservative moral biases, thus necessitating more progressive normative harmonization. Furthermore, the urgency of reconstructing law enforcement through a victim-oriented restorative justice perspective is imperative to shift the punishment orientation toward psychological recovery, the protection of bodily autonomy and digital privacy, and the institutionalization of rapid and comprehensive digital footprint removal mechanisms.
