Abstract
The handling of criminal offences related to Information and Electronic
Transactions (ITE) in Indonesia has become a crucial issue with the rise in
information technology usage. However, it is often addressed with criminal
sanctions without considering alternative approaches such as restorative
justice. Restorative justice, which prioritises the restoration of
relationships and conflict resolution through dialogue between the offender and
the victim, offers a more humane approach compared to the conventional criminal
justice system. This study aims to analyse the implementation and effectiveness
of restorative justice in addressing ITE offences in Indonesia. Employing a
normative juridical approach and qualitative analysis, the research examines
two key questions: first, how is restorative justice implemented in handling
ITE offences in Indonesia? And second, how effective is restorative justice in
achieving justice and restoration for both victims and offenders? The findings
indicate that, although restorative justice is legally recognised, its
implementation in ITE cases remains limited, with many cases still being
processed through criminal channels. The effectiveness of this approach is also
affected by the lack of understanding among law enforcement officers and the
public. The study suggests enhancing awareness and training for law enforcement
officers, as well as strengthening regulations that support the application of
restorative justice in ITE cases. Further research is needed to explore more
effective strategies for integrating restorative justice into the criminal
justice system in Indonesia.
