Padjadjaran Jurnal Ilmu Hukum (Journal of Law)

Reformasi Hukum Pidana pasca kemerdekaan Indonesia telah dimulai sejak 1963 terhadap Kitab Undang-Undang Hukum Pidana sebagai warisan dari kolonial Belanda. Semangat kemerdekaan menginginkan adanya reformasi, bukan hanya terhadap produk hukum yang masih bernuansa kolonialisme, namun juga pada cara pandang atau pola pikir dalam memandang permasalahan hukum. Salah satu pola pikir yang mendapat pengaruh warisan kolonialisme dalam mempertahankan rust en orde (menjaga keamanan dan ketertiban) adalah dengan memasukkan instrumen hukum guna mempertahankan kestabilan politik. Sehingga negara masih memandang urgenitas dari tindakan isolasir terhadap ideologi negara dengan melakukan pelarangan terhadap penyebaran ideologi Komunisme/Marxisme/Leninisme.

Padjadjaran Jurnal Ilmu Hukum (Journal of Law)

Penyelesaian tindak pidana kecelakaan lalu lintas di Indonesia dapat diselesaikan melalui sistem peradilan pidana,namun pada umumnya pelaku mengadakan proses perdamaian di luar pengadilan dengan keluarga korban sehingga terjadi kesepakatan perdamaian antara para pihak. Model perdamaian tersebut dikenal dengan model pendekatan restorative justice yang sampai saat ini belum diakomodir dalam peraturan perundang-undangan sehingga aparat penegak hukum menjadi ragu untuk menjadikan kesepakatan perdamaian sebagai pertimbangan untuk menghentikan atau melanjutkan penyidikan. Putusan pengadilan juga belum menempatkan perdamaian antara para pihak sebagai dasar untuk melepaskan pelaku. Mekanisme ini hanya terbatas sebagai pertimbangan untuk meringankan pidana kepada terdakwa. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian, upaya pendekatan restorative justice …
