Disparity in Restitution Calculations from LPSK and Judge's Decisions on Crime Victims

Nuraisya Rachmaratri

Abstract


Restitution is the provision of compensation for losses imposed on the perpetrator based on a court decision which has permanent legal force for losses suffered by the victim, both material and/or immaterial. Restitution is a right that can be applied for all types of criminal acts that cause harm to the victim. The purpose of this research is to find out and analyze the implementation of restitution calculations from LPSK and Judge's Decisions for victims of criminal acts, to find out and analyze the implementation of calculations of restitution from judge's decisions for victims of criminal acts, to find out and analyze Restitution for victims of criminal acts in the future based on comparison with other countries. This research is included in the socio-legal research tradition. Socio legal is research that examines the application of legal rules or norms using legal science and social science approaches. Provisions in Article 1 number 11 of Law no. 31 of 2014 concerning Witness and Victim Protection explains the definition of restitution, namely: "Restitution is compensation given to the victim or their family by the perpetrator or a third party." Furthermore, in Article 7A paragraph (1) Law no. 31 of 2014 concerning Witness and Victim Protection explains the forms of restitution that victims are entitled to receive, namely in the form of: (a) compensation for loss of wealth or income; (b) compensation for losses incurred as a result of directly related suffering as a result of criminal acts; and/or (c) reimbursement for medical and/or psychological treatment costs. This disparity in the calculation of LPSK restitution and the judge's decision occurs because LPSK only calculates material losses, whereas in the judge's decision, immaterial losses are added based on considerations. Restitution in the future, there must be confirmation in the material criminal law that restitution is part of the form of punishment (criminal) and is grouped as a main crime or additional crime, so that all offenses that cause loss and suffering can be subject to restitution. In this way, the criminal restitution will be parallel to the criminal fine.
