Is Development

One of the most important achievements of the contemporary criminal justice system and criminal policy is development of the concept of restorative justice. Contemporary concept of restorative justice was developed in 1970s on the basis of the criticism of the traditional criminal law and criminal justice system. Since that time, it has been developing through different programs in many countries. Reform of the criminal justice system in Serbia staring from 2002 went into direction of entering elements of restorative justice into existing criminal justice system. In that sense, development of restorative justice is still at the beginning in our country. However, it can be noticed that there is a low level of awareness on the nature and importance of restorative forms of response to crime among our professionals, as well as a lack of understanding of the concept itself. Due to that, the aim of the paper is to enable better understanding of restorative concept in general through defining restorative justice and basic principles it relies on. That may put a basis for further recognition of restorative elements in our criminal justice system, which may provide adequate implementation of relevant provisions of restorative character in practice. .

While this comment primarily addresses the article by Anat Horovitz and Thomas Weigend on human dignity and victims' rights in the German and Israeli criminal process, it begins with a consideration of the role of the victim in other component parts of the criminal justice system, and in particular the substantive criminal law—a topic addressed in other articles included in this issue. There follows a review of the comparative analysis of the victim's role in Germany and Israel put forward by Horovitz and Weigend and a critique of the issues they raise, particularly as to the salience of the victim's procedural role. It is argued here that the victim should have a somewhat more meaningful role than that envisaged by these authors. The comment concludes with a brief consideration of the potential for the advancement of alternative remedies currently neglected by both systems, such as restorative justice.

This article discusses how the law arrangements in the juvenile justice in the process of resolving the case, How restorative justice restrictions in law enforcement in Indonesia and How the application of Restorative justice law in the process of settlement of criminal case in Criminal Law in Indonesia. This type of research is normative juridical that describes reviewing and explaining and analyzing normative provisions associated with restorative justice applicable in Indonesia. From the above discussion that restorative justice in the settlement of criminal acts committed by children is very concerned in rebuilding relations after the occurrence of criminal acts, rather than exacerbate the rift between the perpetrators, victims and the community which is the character of the current modern criminal justice system. The restorative criminal justice process holds the view that realizing justice is not only a matter of government and criminality, but more than that it must provide justice in totality that can not ignore the interests and rights of victims and society. Implementation of the principle of restorative justice and the process of diversion as an effort to solve crimes committed by children in formal juridical has been set clearly and firmly in Law Number 11 Year 2012 about kids of justice.

Rape Case

Victims in rape cases are invariably the forgotten part in India’s criminal adversarial system. While the accused, more often than not, is protected with all the resources available at the expenditure of the State, the victim is left to fend for herself with little or no support from the State machinery. She is merely transformed to a witness to watch the entire play being organized by the accused and the State as the protagonists. The violations of victim’s rights, the invasion of her dignity, the actual losses incurred to her do not constitute matter of concern of any one. India, at present, is faced with the situations where respect for criminal law has reduced to minimum; one of the crucial reasons being the hapless condition of the victims. Perhaps, the most dismal condition is witnessed in the rape case. The present article seeks to highlight the plight of victims in Indian Criminal Justice System with special reference to victims of rape and also highlights the attempts of the judiciary to fill all the gaps through restorative justice to repair the harm caused by criminals.

Child is a part of which do not be locked out of man viability and continuity of one nation and state, in Indonesian constitution explicit being declared that country secures each child be entitled to viability, grow up and amends and be entitled to protection of violence and discrimination. The best interest of the child have precedence over, as affirmed in Convention on the Rights of the Child, Declaration of United Nation concerning on the Rights of the Child year 1959 and in The Beijing Rules ratified through Decision of President Number 36 Year 1990 About Authentication of Convention on the Rights of the Child. Thereby, hence child conducting an injustice do not be viewed as a criminal, but have to be seen as one who need aid, affection and congeniality and also imposition of criminal law sanction to child as perpetrator of doing an injustice shall be more major approach of psychological and persuasive-educative approach. Penalization system for a child have set clear in Code Number 11 Year 2012 about Code of Child Criminal Justice System or known as UUSPPA, One of the alternative in handling child case by using diversion concept and restorative justice. Restorative justice is an approaching that emphasizes on recover loss that evoked by crime where all party in concerned in a certain doing an injustice together solve problem, creating an obligation to make everything become better by entangling child as perpetrator of doing an injustice, victim child, and society in searching solution to improve, reconciliation and liver which is do not pursuant to retaliation. But it turns out in practice, diversion concept and restorative justice not always can be applied to the case as writer have been wrote in this research. Based on the results of research can be concluded that every child of a criminal act must have a caused and harmony in the family shape the personality and character of the child.

ABSTRAKPrinsip keadilan restoratif dalam peraturan perundang-undangan hukum pidana yang berlaku di Indonesia hanya diatur dalam Undang-Undang Sistem Peradilan Pidana Anak (SPPA) yang diaplikasikan dalam bentuk diversi, namun diversi tersebut hanya ditujukan bagi pelaku tindak pidana anak bukan untuk pelaku dewasa, peraturan perundang-perundangan pidana Indonesia belum mengatur prinsip keadilan restoratif bagi pelaku dewasa. Dalam praktik penegakan hukum, penerapan prinsip keadilan restoratif bagi pelaku dewasa sebagian telah dilaksanakan melalui diskresi, namun secara teoritis dan pratik pelaksanaan diskresi masih bermasalah karena belum memenuhi tiga nilai dasar hukum yaitu keadilan, kepastian dan kemanfaatan, dan diskresi juga bisa menimbulkan permasalahan ketidakadilan, karena adanya perbedaan perlakuan dalam proses penegakan hukum, sehingga asas “equality before the law” tidak dilaksanakan. Tujuan penelitian adalah untuk mengetahui bagaimana pelaksanaan prinsip keadilan restoratif dalam peraturan perundang-undangan pidana yang berlaku di Indonesia dan bagaimana penerapan diversi bagi pelaku dewasa dalam rangka mewujudkan keadilan restoratif. Jenis penelitian yaitu penelitian hukum normatif atau penelitian hukum kepustakaan, untuk mencari dan menemukan data yang dibutuhkan untuk menjawab permasalahan. Hasil penelitian diketahui bahwa peraturan perundang-undangan hukum pidana Indonesia belum mengatur tentang prinsip keadilan restoratif bagi pelaku dewasa, prinsip keadilan restoratif diterapkan baru sebatas untuk pelaku anak yang diaplikasikan dalam bentuk diversi. Secara teoritis, historis, normatif dan praktik prosedural, diversi juga dapat diterapkan untuk menyelesaikan perkara tindak pidana yang dilakukan oleh orang dewasa, namun perlu adanya perubahan dan penyesuaian terutama dalam hal tujuan pelaksanaan, kwalifikasi jenis tindak pidana dan mekanisme atau prosedur pelaksanaannya.Kata kunci: kebijakan hukum pidana; anak; dewasa; diversi; keadilan restoratif.AbstractThe principle of restorative justice in criminal law regulations in force in Indonesia is only regulated in the Law on the Criminal Justice System for Children (SPPA) which is applied in the form of diversion, however the diversion is only intended for child offenders not for adult offenders, Indonesian criminal laws and regulations do not regulate the principle of restorative justice for adult offenders. In law enforcement practices, the application of the principle of restorative justice for adult offenders has been partially implemented through discretion, but theoretically and practically the implementation of discretion is still problematic because it does not meet the three basic legal values, namely justice, certainty and benefit, and discretion can also cause problems of injustice, due to differences in treatment in the law enforcement process, so the principle of "equality before the law" is not implemented. The research goal is to find out how the implementation of the principles of restorative justice in criminal legislation in Indonesia, and how the application of diversion for adult offenders in order to realize restorative justice. This type of research is normative research or library research, to search and find the data needed to answer the problem. The results of the study note that Indonesian criminal law regulations do not regulate the principles of restorative justice for adult offenders, the principle of restorative justice is applied only to the child offenders which is applied in the form of diversion. Theoretically, historically, normatively and procedural practice, diversion can also be applied to resolve cases by adult offenders, but there needs to be changes and adjustments especially in terms of implementation objectives, qualification of the type of crime and the mechanism or procedure for its implementation.Keywords: criminal law policy; children; adults; diversion; restorative justice.

Legislative Measures

Increased recognition of the need for victims of crime to be integrated into the criminal justice system and to receive adequate reparation has led, in a number of jurisdictions, to legislative measures to encourage the greater use of compensation orders. The Sentencing Act 1997 (Tas) (which came into force on 1 August 1998) went further and made compensation orders compulsory for property damage or loss resulting from certain crimes. This article shows that this measure has failed victims and argues that they have been used in the service of other ends. Mandatory compensation orders are a token gesture repackaged as restorative justice to gain public support for the administration of the criminal justice system.Ways in which compensation orders could be made more effective and the possibilities of accommodating restorative compensation into a conventional criminal justice system are explored.
