This thesis discusses the application of restorative justice based on prosecutor's
regulation number 15 of 2020 in traffic accident cases resulting in death, with a
normative legal research method that analyzes legal norms. Restorative Justice is the
settlement of criminal cases involving perpetrators, victims, and community leaders or
community leaders, and the restorative justice process emphasizes restoring the
original state rather than retaliation. The purpose of this study is to analyze the
implementation of restorative justice based on prosecutor's regulation number 15 of
2020 in traffic accident cases resulting in death. The conclusion of this discussion is
that prosecutor's regulation number 15 of 2020 has not yet fully regulated the exception
of criminal acts due to negligence from the case requirements determined for
restorative justice, in article 5 paragraph (4) only states the exception to the
requirements in article 5 paragraph (1) regarding the implementation of restorative
justice, so there is no clarity in terms of limitations, procedures, and technicalities
regarding these regulations if the settlement of traffic accident cases resulting in death
is carried out. Therefore, the follow-up to the discussion is that it is necessary to revise
the Prosecutor's Regulation Number 15 of 2020 to clarify the criteria and mechanisms
for exceptions to the application of restorative justice in criminal acts committed due
to negligence so as to provide legal certainty and prevent multiple interpretations of
statutory regulations.
