The method of community organization can be used to implement restorative justice within the community. This study aimed at understanding whether members from seven communities in Malaysia would assume responsibility for restorative justice initiatives, accept various elements of restorative justice, and welcome offenders back into the community. The findings are mixed. Some community members believed that the community setting may offer resources for offender rehabilitation that the criminal justice system does not have; others raised concerns over various limitations such that communities may not be equipped to deal with criminal cases.

The law recognizes both litigation and non-litigation settlement mechanisms, but it is almost not explicitly regulated for non-litigation settlement in criminal cases. Non-litigation in criminal recognizes the concept of restorative justice for the public interest, which is different from the private realm in civil. The concept of restorative justice exists to rehabilitate the state of criminals so that they are accepted back into the community. The concept of restorative justice is manifested in the mediation mechanism in criminal law in the form of penal mediation, but penal mediation does not yet have a legal umbrella. The non-progressive normative application of the law results in the overcapacity of prisons/remand centres. Currently, the Draft Criminal Procedure Code (hereinafter as RKUHAP) is being drafted, which does not yet regulate the application of non-litigation solutions. Later, it can be applied by law enforcement agencies so that problems such as overcapacity prisons are resolved and the creation of peaceful order in the community. This study aims to provide a view of the concept of penal mediation in criminal procedural law to serve as an aspiration for the consideration of the parties involved in the preparation of the substance of the RKUHAP. This paper uses a normative approach with technical analysis using hermeneutic analysis and interpretation methods.

In handling criminal cases, the restorative justice approach provides different views and approaches to studying and dealing with a criminal act for the handling of restorative justice, that criminal acts are essentially from the viewpoint of criminal law in general, namely attacks on individuals and society as well as community relations. In restorative justice, it can also be found that the features of the formulation of justice are related to rights, judged by results. This meaning has brought a paradigm shift in understanding the concept of providing justice that is in the criminal justice system, it’s said that because in the concept of the criminal justice system in general, justice is considered to have been achieved, the value of the perpetrator can be sanctioned by the state and the victim doesn’t have a place in the settlement process, meanwhile. In the concept of a framework of restorative justice, perpetrators of criminal acts, victims and the whole community are involved in resolving criminal acts directly and focusing on recovery suffered by victims, while the state functions as a facilitator in the process of resolving criminal acts.

The handling of the minor criminal act case settlement tends to be conducted as a general crimanal act because it is only focused on criminal responsibility of perpetrators which is based on the responsibility of their actions and faults, without considering the quality orvalues of the crime objects, so it breaks the sense of justice in society. Whereas, basically a minor criminal act is a simple and harmless criminal act, and it just cause merely little losses of the victims. For this reason, an alternative case settlement of the minor criminal act is needed by restorative justice approach which has a more emphasis on the creation of conditions of fairness and balance between the perpetrator to the victim. Because the current criminal justice procedure focuses solely on criminal prosecution and ignores the interests of the victim, thus it is transformed into a process of dialogue / mediation, involving the victim to create a fairer and more balanced minor criminal act case settlement.The criteria for completing the criminal cases through restorative justice is that the perpetrator is not punished .In other words through this restorative models, perpetrator does not need to go to jail if the interests of the victim and the loss have been restored or have been recovered, the victim and the community have forgiven, while the perpetrator has expressed regret.

In carrying out law enforcement duties, the State Police Investigator of the Republic of Indonesia has the duties, functions, and authorities in the field of investigating criminal acts in accordance with the applicable laws and regulations. Based on the Regulation of the National Police Chief Number .6 of 2019 concerning Criminal Investigation, it has a role to carry out prevention efforts without having to use the Criminal Justice System (SPP), namely by resolving cases through the peace process. This process is due to the desire of the community who wants the case to be completed immediately and no longer be complicated. The resolution can be supported by the police's discretionary authority so that the type of research is descriptive empirical juridical, using primary data by means of interviews and secondary data by means of documentation studies. Then all data were processed using qualitative data analysis.
