DIVERSI DALAM PERSPEKTIF PEMENUHAN KEADILAN KORBAN SUATU PENYELESAIAN PERKARA PIDANA MELALUI PENDEKATAN KEADILAN RESTORATIF

Abstrak

Diversi dalam peradilan pidana adalah pendekatan alternatif untuk menyelesaikan kasus tanpa melalui litigasi formal, terutama bagi pelaku anak. Melalui perspektif keadilan restoratif, diversi tidak hanya berfokus pada pelaku tetapi juga memperhatikan pemenuhan hak korban. Penelitian ini menganalisis peran diversi dalam memenuhi keadilan korban dan efektivitasnya sebagai penyelesaian di luar pengadilan. Dengan metode yuridis normatif, analisis dilakukan terhadap regulasi diversi dalam Undang-Undang Sistem Peradilan Pidana Anak serta prinsip-prinsip keadilan restoratif. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa diversi mampu memberikan kesempatan bagi korban untuk memperoleh keadilan melalui mediasi, kompensasi, dan pemulihan hubungan. Namun, efektivitasnya masih terhambat oleh regulasi yang terbatas dan kurangnya pemahaman masyarakat dan penegak hukum mengenai keadilan restoratif. Oleh karena itu, penelitian ini merekomendasikan peningkatan sosialisasi dan pelatihan untuk penegak hukum serta penguatan regulasi guna memaksimalkan peran diversi dalam memenuhi keadilan korban.

Diversion in criminal justice is an alternative approach to resolving cases without going through formal litigation, especially for juvenile offenders. Through a restorative justice perspective, diversion does not only focus on the perpetrator but also pays attention to fulfilling the victim's rights. This research analyzes the role of diversion in fulfilling justice for victims and its effectiveness as an out-of-court settlement. Using the normative juridical method, analysis was carried out on the diversion regulations in the Juvenile Criminal Justice System Law as well as the principles of restorative justice. The research results show that diversion is able to provide opportunities for victims to obtain justice through mediation, compensation and restoration of relationships. However, its effectiveness is still hampered by limited regulations and a lack of understanding by the public and law enforcement regarding restorative justice. Therefore, this research recommends increasing outreach and training for law enforcers as well as strengthening regulations to maximize the role of diversion in fulfilling justice for victims.
