The settlement of criminal cases using the Restorative Justice approach in the Police is
guided by Police Regulation Number 8 of 2021 concerning Handling Crimes Based on
Restorative Justice. The settlement of criminal cases of domestic violence using the
Restorative Justice approach at the investigation level has not been specifically regulated
in the regulation. The problem in this study is what is the basis for the Police to apply the
Restorative Justice approach in resolving criminal acts of Domestic Violence. The type of
research used is normative legal research, by analyzing regulations related to Restorative
Justice at the investigation level to resolve criminal cases of Domestic Violence. One of the
reasons why investigators apply Restorative Justice, especially to criminal cases of
Domestic Violence at the investigation level, is because the Household is a private
relationship between husband and wife who are bound in a marital relationship so that it
is hoped that it will not end in divorce by being guided and considering the material
requirements in Police Regulation Number 8 of 2021 concerning Handling Crimes Based
on Restorative Justice.
