Abstract

There is a conceptual error in the existence of peaceful fines when viewed from the implementation of peaceful fines itself, especially when applied to minor corruption crimes, which basically can be attached to the police institution, so that the fast track of criminal justice can be realised. Therefore, the purpose of the research conducted by researchers in this study is to find the concept of peaceful fines for the incorporation of restorative justice into Indonesia's evolving criminal code. Descriptive analysis is the research specification, and a normative juridical approach is the research methodology. Primary, secondary, and tertiary legal resources are the sources of the data. This research found that there is a social contract attached to state responsibility for the losses suffered by victims. This state responsibility is substantially and fundamentally attached to the state by attaching environmental losses and community losses in addition to state financial losses. Thus, the concept of punishment for corruption offences will be erroneous when only the state finances that are harmed are the focus. This also leads to amicable fines being the focus of punishment for corruption offences which will also be erroneous. The implementation of the concept of restorative justice in the form of peaceful fines places the Police as the implementer considering the ‘vanguard’ of law enforcement in Indonesia. On the other hand, the police also function as a conduit of information or a copy to the prosecutor's office and judges in court, the final result of which is an amicable fine set by the court.
