THE COMPLETION OF MINOR OFFENCES BY APPLYING RESTORATIVE JUSTICE

Abstract

The settlement of minor offences can be pursued by penal mediation called restorative justice approach. Restorative Justice focuses on the direct participation of perpetrators, victims and the community by interpreting criminal acts as essentially attacks on individuals and communities as well as public relations. Justice is interpreted as the process of finding solutions to problems that occur on a minor criminal case with the involvement of victims, communities and perpetrators to be important in efforts to improve, reconcile and guarantee the continuity of the improvement efforts. In handling criminal cases, penal mediation prioritizes the interests of the perpetrators of crimes and at the same time the interests of victims, so that a win-win solution is achieved that benefits the perpetrators of crimes and their victims. In mediation penal victims are met directly with the perpetrators of crimes and can bring charges so that the peace of the parties is produced. Through mediation penal case handling process is done transparently. This research is normative juridical law research intended to review the settlement arrangements of minor crimes by applying restorative justice.
