Abstract

Restorative Justice is a policy that emphasizes recovery over retaliation, marking a significant shift in Indonesia's criminal law system. This approach has been recognized as more effective in achieving justice and operational efficiency, thus renewing the framework of criminal law in the country. This article employs a descriptive-analytical research method with a normative juridical approach to explore the role of Restorative Justice in reforming criminal law and its application as an alternative strategy in narcotics law enforcement. The findings indicate that the implementation of Restorative Justice represents a pivotal update in the legal landscape, particularly within criminal law. Conventional justice policies, often criticized for their ineffectiveness, are now being reformed through Restorative Justice measures. This transition is not confined to general criminal law; it also encompasses narcotics offenses, where the principles of Restorative Justice are applied. The Supreme Court Circular Number 4 of 2010 (SEMA 4/2010) establishes a framework for placing narcotics offenders, victims, and addicts into medical and social rehabilitation institutions. Rehabilitation can only be pursued if the offenders meet specific requirements outlined in this regulation, reinforcing the focus on recovery as a primary objective in addressing narcotics crimes.
