Abstract

Domestic violence is a complex social and legal issue that touches on psychological, social and human rights aspects. Conventional law enforcement is often unable to resolve the psychosocial impact of domestic violence, making the Restorative Justice approach an alternative solution oriented towards recovery and dialogue between parties. This study examines the implementation of restorative justice principles in cases of domestic violence in the jurisdiction of the Medan Police. The research method used is an empirical juridical approach, with data collection techniques through observation and interviews with police officers handling domestic violence cases and descriptive qualitative data analysis. The results of the study show that the Medan Police have implemented the principles of Restorative Justice in some cases of domestic violence that are classified as minor and reportable offences. The mediation process is carried out carefully and with the agreement of both parties. However, there are significant obstacles, including low public awareness of the law, a lack of professionalism among law enforcement officials in receiving and following up on reports from the public, a patriarchal culture that normalises violence, and regulatory limitations that do not fully support the application of RJ in the existing legal system. Recommendations include the need to improve legal education for the public and the capacity of police officers regarding the principles of Restorative Justice, strengthening regulations, and using Restorative Justice as the primary approach in social relations and the restoration of victims' rights.
