Abstract


This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of restorative justice for narcotics recidivists in the Indonesian legal system. The research method used is a qualitative approach with data analysis obtained through interviews, observations, and document studies involving offenders, police, lawyers, and correctional institutions. The results show that although restorative justice has the potential to reduce recidivism rates, challenges in its implementation include a lack of understanding among law enforcement and the public, as well as limited rehabilitation facilities. Overall, the study indicates that enhanced support for rehabilitation programs is needed to improve the effectiveness of restorative justice in handling narcotics recidivists.
