Abstract

The concept of legal justice is creating a state of law that can provide a sense of justice for all its citizens based on the rules in its application, still paying attention to good and quality laws in order to achieve the goals of justice and complete welfare as aspired to by the Indonesian state. It is known that the current problem-solving, which is classified as a minor criminal case, prioritises the concept of restorative justice. The purpose of this research is to find out and analyse the application of restorative justice used by law enforcement in handling minor criminal cases at the Peudada Police and to find out the basic rules used by investigators and the steps in implementing restorative justice, as well as the obstacles they experience. While the research method used by the researcher here is qualitative, namely the empirical legal research method, to observe how the facts occur in the field or in society, so that researchers can make it easier to obtain data in the field according to expectations in the research. Meanwhile, the approach used in this empirical legal research... The results of the study, as the Peudada police chief in resolving problems in minor criminal cases, are more towards resolving through a restorative approach. This is the main part of the police's duties as outlined in Perkap number 6 of 2019, from the resolution of criminal cases, which must be given a place in the legislation, which is also accompanied by the legal basis/theory.
