- Abstract
Restorative justice is a hot issue, especially at the level of practitioners and academics in Indonesia at the present day. It starts from its application in several laws and regulations to being discussed in the Draft Criminal Code. Therefore, it deserves to be analyzed because its application will have legal consequences in criminal law discussions and punishments and criminal procedural law, which we know as a criminal justice system. On this occasion, the researcher is interested in analyzing the current existence of restorative justice as a criminal law reform in Indonesia. Is it a concept or a theory? Furthermore, how is the application of restorative justice in Indonesia today? In this study, the researcher uses a normative method (apart from legal research methods’ dichotomy into normative and empirical). Based on the results, restorative justice is not a theory but only a concept that has been shifted into an approach poured into several laws and regulations in Indonesia today. Restorative justice as a legal reform in Indonesia in the field of punishment is currently stated in several statutes and regulations which, if examined, there are still differences in their definitions, so it is appropriate to be regulated in the form of law so that there is no ambiguous understanding, as well as its implementation in Indonesia.
