Abstract

Implementation of restorative justice in the juvenile justice system in many countries has undergone its dynamics in the past few decades, including in Indonesia. The enactment of Indonesia Juvenile Justice System Law in mid-2014, which invalidates the 1997 Juvenile Court Law, became a significant point of juvenile justice reformation in Indonesia. The new Law began to shift the retributive paradigm in the Juvenile Court Law, as the previous statutory basis for juvenile justice in Indonesia, to restorative justice paradigm. The new Law introduces the Diversion mechanism as a means to implement the restorative justice approach. This article seeks to discuss how restorative justice can be contextualized through diversion mechanism, as well as to consider whether the new Indonesia Juvenile Justice System utilises restorative justice in a marginalized, boutique, or tokenistic way. Furthermore, this article uses statutory and theoretical approaches to examine the contextualization of restorative justice through the diversion mechanism introduced in the new Juvenile Justice System Law.

Bahasa Abstract

Penerapan keadilan restoratif dalam sistem peradilan pidana anak di berbagai negara telah mengalami dinamika tersendiri selama beberapa dekade terakhir, termasuk di Indonesia. Diundangkannya Undang-Undang tentang Sistem Peradilan Pidana Anak pada pertengahan 2014, yang membatalkan Undang-Undang tentang Pengadilan Anak 1997 menjadi poin penting dalam reformasi sistem peradilan anak di Indonesia. Undang-Undang baru tersebut mulai menggeser paradigma retributif dalam Undang-Undang Pengadilan Anak 1997 menjadi paradigma keadilan restoratif. Lebih lanjut, Undang-Undang Sistem Peradilan Pidana Anak memperkenalkan mekanisme diversi sebagai cara menerapkan pendekatan keadilan restoratif. Artikel ini mencoba membahas mengenai bagaimana keadilan restoratif dapat dikontekstualisasikan melalui mekanisme diversi, serta untuk memahami apakah Undang-Undang Sistem Peradilan Pidana yang baru menerapkan keadilan restoratif secara termarginalkan, simbolik dan tokenistik. Lebih lanjut, artikel ini menggunakan pendekatan undang-undang dan teoritis untuk menganalisis bagaimana sejatinya kontekstualisasi keadilan restoratif melalui mekanisme diversi yang diperkenalkan dalam Undang-Undang Sistem Peradilan Pidana Anak.
