<![CDATA[Introduction: Handling Domestic Violence through restorative justice raises the issue of the balance between case resolution, victim protection, and prevention of repeated violence. This issue is important to study in law enforcement practice at the police level. Purposes of the Research: This study aims to analyze the mechanism of implementing restorative justice in handling domestic violence crimes in the Sigi Resort Police and identify obstacles to its implementation, especially related to victim protection and volunteerism. Methods of the Research: The research uses empirical legal methods with a qualitative approach. Data were obtained through interviews and documentation related to the handling of Domestic Violence cases at the Sigi Police Station. The analysis was carried out in a descriptive-analytical manner by linking field findings and the legal framework of restorative justice. Findings of the Research: The results of the study show that the application of restorative justice includes the receipt of reports, preliminary examinations, case feasibility assessments, mediation, and the preparation of peace agreements. The research also identified challenges in the form of psychological distress, victims' economic dependence, and the need for supervision of voluntariness in the peace process. These findings show the importance of more measurable victim protection mechanisms and supervision of the implementation of agreements. In conclusion, this study contributes to the study of the implementation of restorative justice by emphasizing the need for a balance between case resolution, perpetrator responsibility, and victim safety in handling Domestic Violence.]]>
