The Development of the Restorative Justice Concept as an Alternative Approach to Handling Drug Abuse Cases Among Teenagers (a Study at Labuhanbatu Police Resort)

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Drug abuse among teenagers is a serious issue that requires long-term solutions. The traditional repressive legal approach often proves ineffective, as offenders tend to relapse after serving their sentences. Restorative law offers a more humane alternative, emphasizing the recovery of victims and the reintegration of offenders into society. In Indonesia, this approach is supported by regulations such as the 2014 Joint Regulation and the 2020 Prosecutor’s Regulation No. 15. Research at the Labuhanbatu Police Resort shows the application of restorative justice in handling drug abuse cases among teenagers, with a focus on rehabilitation.
