Abstract

The mechanisms and procedures for implementing restorative justice regarding assault cases at the Criminal Investigation Unit of the Denpasar City Police are carried out in accordance with Chapter IV (Articles 79 through 88) of Law No. 20 of 2025 concerning the Criminal Procedure Code. The application of restorative justice in resolving assault cases has proven quite effective and serves as a priority for case resolution, in line with the guidelines set forth in Indonesian National Police Regulation No. 8 of 2021. This approach has successfully accelerated case resolution, restored the relationship between the victim and the perpetrator, and reduced the burden on the criminal justice system, although its implementation relies heavily on the parties reaching a peace agreement. Key indicators of success (effectiveness) include: (a) rapid case resolution, (b) restoration of the victim's rights, and (c) system efficiency.
