Restorative Justice is a philosophy, process, ideas, theories, and interventions that emphasize the improvement of the harm caused or expressed by criminal behaviour. This process is in sharp contrast to the standard way of handling crime, as is commonly carried out in criminal law in Indonesia. The research used in formulating this material is doctrinal research, in which this research uses a normative legal research method. Restorative justice finds a foothold in the underlying philosophy of the fourth principle of Pancasila, namely deliberation on priorities in decision making. The purpose of this study of the settlement by mediating victims of violators is to humanize the justice system, justice that can answer the real needs of victims, perpetrators and the community. Contribution of this research about restorative justice programs are based on the belief that the parties to the conflict should be actively involved in restoring and mitigating the negative impacts
