Abstract
Article 5 of the Prosecutor's Regulation
(PERJA) Number 15 of 2020 states that criminal cases can be closed by law and
discontinued prosecution based on Restorative Justice by fulfilling the
requirements stipulated in the PERJA. The Lhokseumawe District Attorney's
Office has discontinued prosecution based on restorative justice in cases of
criminal acts of violence against children based on the provisions of PERJA
Number 15 of 2020. In the application of Restorative Justice, there are several
factors that influence the implementation and can hinder the peace process
between the parties. The results showed that the implementation of restorative
justice as an alternative to resolving criminal cases involves 3 (three)
parties who play an important role, namely the perpetrator and his family, the
victim and his family, and other related parties or in this case the Public
Prosecutor who has an important influence in the implementation of restorative
justice. PERJA Number 15 of 2020 has accommodated the settlement of criminal
cases through an out-of-court process, namely by a peace process between the
victim and the perpetrator.
