Abstract :
Violent conflict in the household (domestic violence) is a very common case in
the household phase and becomes a sensitive issue if not handled carefully. This
research was conducted to find out how the legal basis for mediating the
resolution of KDT cases outside the court; 2) What is the form and process of
resolving cases of violence outside the court of households used by the parties;
and 3) What factors hinder the success of the resolution of cases of domestic
violence outside the court. This research method uses a normative juridical
approach which is to study the legislation or law conceptualized as a rule or norm
in handling domestic violence conflicts. The results of this study can be explained
that the positive law of Indonesia in principle is not possible for settlement outside
the Court, although in certain cases governed the settlement of cases outside the
trial as in the resolution of domestic violence. Settlement of domestic violence
through channels outside the court can be done in 3 (three) ways, namely: 1)
Disputing Parties Settle Their Own Cases Without the Help of a Third Party as an
Intermediary (Mediator); 2) Disputing Parties Ask For Help For Their Families
To Be Settled (Mediated); and 3) Voluntary Dispute Agrees Agree to Come Ask
for Community Leaders to become Mediators. There are several factors that
become obstacles in the implementation of restorative justice, especially for the
resolution of domestic violence, namely: 1) Legal substance that has not
accommodated the implementation of restorative justice in full; 2) Law enforcers
who have not optimally implemented existing regulations and are still behaving
rigidly, and the culture of law / community participation has not been maximized;
3) Lack of regulation making that accommodates all provisions regarding the
handling of domestic violence cases through a restorative justice approach,
outreach to all law enforcement officials and the public; and 4) Coordination
between law enforcement officers, and changing the paradigm of law enforcement
officials from a retributive and restitutive justice approach to restorative justice
has not yet been fully achieved.
