Implementation of Sanctions and Rehabilitation Measures Against Narcotics Addicts from a Restorative Justice Perspective

Bram Prima Putra, Andri Winjaya Laksana

Abstract


In line with this, narcotics abuse should take into account the application of restorative justice, which emphasizes that a person who commits a criminal act does not necessarily have to end up in prison as their punishment. The purpose of this research is to examine and analyze the implementation of rehabilitation sanctions for narcotics addicts from the perspective of restorative justice, to examine and analyze the weaknesses of current rehabilitation sanctions for narcotics addicts, and to examine and analyze the legal policy of rehabilitation sanctions for narcotics addicts in the future. This legal research is normative legal research, namely research that focuses on the study of legal norms or rules. Normative legal research examines legal norms or regulations as a system that is related to a legal event. The implementation of rehabilitation sanctions for narcotics addicts from the perspective of restorative justice is a legal measure that emphasizes recovery rather than mere punishment, with medical and social rehabilitation reinforced by mandatory reporting and integrated assessments by the National Narcotics Board (BNN). Through the Attorney General's Regulation No. 18 of 2021, prosecutors are given the authority to divert narcotics abuse cases to rehabilitate in order to restore addicts' conditions so they can function normally in society. However, its implementation remains weak because Law No. 35 of 2009 still emphasizes imprisonment, does not provide explicit authority for prosecutors to terminate prosecution based on restorative justice, and contains overlapping provisions that often result in addicts being treated the same as dealers. Furthermore, coordination among law enforcement agencies is still weak, rehabilitation facilities and human resources are limited, and social stigma along with the repressive paradigm of law enforcement hinders social reintegration. Therefore, future legal policy needs to be directed toward a more humanistic approach by clearly differentiating addicts from dealers, revising Law No. 35 of 2009 to make rehabilitation mandatory, strengthening prosecutorial discretion, expanding rehabilitation facilities, and building cross-sectoral integration of law, health, and social services. In addition, transparent monitoring mechanisms, anti-stigma campaigns, and paradigm shifts between law enforcement and society are needed so that addicts are accepted as victims who must be restored.
