Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa Restorative Justice berfokus pada pendekatan pemulihan daripada pembalasan. Meskipun demikian, penerapannya belum sepenuhnya berhasil dalam lingkup peradilan di Indonesia. Terdapat dua pandangan yang kuat: Pro Restorative Justice menyebutkan manfaatnya dalam menyelesaikan Over Capacity di lapas, menciptakan keadilan monodualistik, dan meningkatkan efisiensi penegak hukum.

Abstract

This research highlights the lack of effectiveness of government and court administration in Indonesia which encourages resolutions in adopting Restorative Justice as a more effective solution in resolving judicial cases. However, this solution is seen as having both good sides and bad sides. Research raises views of the pros and cons in the legal community. Research uses the normative juridical research methods with a statutory approach and a case approach, where researchers examine the implementation of Restorative Justice as a whole. The research results show that Restorative Justice focuses on a recovery approach rather than retaliation. However, its implementation has not been completely successful in the judiciary in Indonesia. There are two strong views: Pro-Restorative Justice states its benefits in resolving overcapacity in prisons, creating monodualistic justice, and increasing the efficiency of law enforcement. Meanwhile, opposing parties argue that Restorative Justice has the potential to provide opportunities for perpetrators to repeat criminal acts, provides less protection for victims, and lacks public understanding of the concept.
