The Indonesian people have now been introduced to an alternative criminal case resolution, known as Restorative Justice. The application of Restorative Justice
has been conducted in a theft case that occurred in the Yogyakarta District Attorney's Office area with the perpetrator named Anggoro Dwi Putro alias Gangsir Bin Joko Suroso (deceased). The perpetrator has been charged with
Article 363 paragraph (1) 3, in which the perpetrator is charged with a maximum penalty of 7 years, this deviates from the provisions of Article 5 paragraph (1) of Prosecutor's Regulation Number 15 of 2020, the conditions as stipulated that criminal cases can be closed by law if the criminal charge is less than 5 years, so it is deemed necessary to conduct legal research on whether the application of Restorative Justice in criminal cases has fulfilled the objectives of the law (justice, benefit, and legal certainty) in accordance with prosecutor's regulation number 15 of 2020 concerning termination of prosecution based on restorative justice.
