Abstract

Restorative Justice has been developing broadly in many countries as a new paradigm in criminal law field. Restorative Justice proposes a comprehensive and holistic way for settling criminal disputes. It involves offender, victim and community that affected by the crime to encounter and come up with the best solution for restoring the harm that caused by the crime. The basic idea of Restorative Justice has spread out to every field of criminal law including Juvenile Law. Following the necessity and global trend, Indonesia has made an effort to replace the Juvenile Court Act (JCA) with the new one, the so-called Juvenile Criminal Justice System Act (JCJSA), which utilizes diversion as restorative justice program for juvenile delinquent. In regard to Japan, restorative justice idea has been developed by academicians, practitioners and westerns scholars. However, up to present, there is no legal basis for implementing restorative justice in Japan nationally. It is in this sense that the practice of restorative justice in Indonesia may contribute and encourage the development of restorative justice for juvenile in Japan. Keywords: juvenile restorative justice, Indonesia, Japan.
