Jakarta – The prosecutor’s office strives to educate the public regarding restorative justice (RJ) for the community. Educational efforts were not only in urban areas, but also in different regions in Indonesia, one of which was Jeneponto Regency, South Sulawesi. The head of the General Crimes Division at Jeneponto district attorney, Kasmawati Saleh, said his party continued to educate residents related to restorative justice. Because not all cases can use the restorative justice approach. “There are also a number of cases that cannot be in restorative justice, for example cases that disrupt state security, immoral affairs, cases on environmental transfer or corruption affairs, issues of election movements cannot be corrected,” Kasmawati told AFP some time ago. Browse to continue the content, he said that in order to use restorative justice, to look at the background of the ongoing case. Because not all cases can use restorative justice. “Although we made peace between the two parties between the victims and the suspect, we also had to see their background to commit a crime because not all of our business could be RJ. For example, to commit a crime of theft, the goal was to buy Shabu-Shabu, or the goal was to drink hard, we did not do RJ,” he explained. Kasmawati said restorative justice can only be used once for those who have litigation. If a similar matter is repeated and executed by the same person, restorative justice cannot be used again. “We also sometimes emphasize that the RJ activity only gets the opportunity as once, if we do more criminal acts, although both parties make peace, we no longer have RJ activities for the offenders,” he said. He explained that the presence of restorative justice was also aimed at that all the cases in the prosecutor’s office would not end in court. However, the use of restorative justice should also consider victims and suspects. “We suggest it, there is a name of the name restorative justice, so not all the problems, or those brought to the prosecutor’s office, must end up at the court, but we can also reconcile on the prosecutor’s level. In addition, we have socialized, also a peace agreement between the victim and the suspect, the goal is also to know us,” he said. “Don’t let us do this RJ activity, there are people who do not agree if they make peace, we must also consider. It is really returning to the original situation, it is not only the love of the victim with the suspect, but also the community how it is the condition around the community after this incident is harmonious again,” he decided. Together with the Attorney General, Detikcom presents a special program that reveals the reality of law enforcement and justice in Indonesia. This program not only emphasized the efforts of the prosecutors’ people in completing matters, but also revealed the story of the dedication and social role of inspirational prosecutors. This program is expected to open a public horizon of the importance of the prosecutors’ institution within the framework of development and maintaining the rule of law in the community.
