- Abstract
Over the past three years, restorative justice has become an essential issue in investigation and prosecution, in line with increasing awareness of victims’ rights. Restorative justice provides space for diversion, allowing criminal cases to be resolved outside court. This not only alleviates the workload of the judiciary but also that of the police and prosecutors. This research aims to disclose two significant objectives: first, to identify the patterns of harmonization in comparing restorative justice regulations during the investigation and prosecution steps, and second, to identify patterns of harmonization with the concept of “restoring social harmony”. This study adopts a socio-legal method, obtaining primary data through interviews with investigators and public prosecutors, supported by secondary data through a literature review. This research reveals a disharmony between police regulations and the Attorney General’s regulations concerning restorative justice and its application to the object of criminal offense. From a normative standpoint, both of these technical regulations are focused on “restoring the victim’s condition,” yet in practice, the concept of “restoring social harmony” is only implemented during the prosecution stage.
