The Restorative Justice approach is present as a humanist alternative that emphasizes the recovery of losses, accountability of the perpetrators and the active involvement of all parties, namely victims, perpetrators and the community. This study aims to analyze juridically the implementation of law enforcement against Traffic Crimes that cause death, identify the application and juridical constraints of the Restorative Justice approach in its resolution, and formulate legal remedies that can be taken by law enforcement. This study uses a juridical analysis method by comparing the aspects of das sollen (ideal legal norms, namely the application of Restorative Justice based on Perpol Regulation Number 8 of 2021 and Perja Number 15 of 2020) with das sein (the empirical reality of law enforcement). Data were obtained through literature studies and analysis of cases that have been resolved with the Restorative Justice approach.
