Alternative Resolution of Corruption Criminal Cases with Small State Losses through The Application of Restorative Justice Principles

Corruption is one part of special crimes, besides having specific specifications that are different from general crimes, namely the existence of formal criminal law or procedural law deviations. Corruption cases in this country still occur frequently, seemingly dominating the crimes present in Indonesia. This research is descriptive-analytical in nature, presenting phenomena or realities about the mechanism of returning finances and/or state assets resulting from corruption crimes. The research results explain that strong, consistent, and non-discriminatory law enforcement is a key element in ensuring the principles of justice and legal certainty. It also has the potential to benefit society through prevention, which can deter individuals from engaging in corruption. Additionally, it contributes to building public trust in law enforcement efforts and law enforcement agencies. Therefore, public support for law enforcement institutions is strengthening. The development of anti-corruption legislation concepts is expected to assist in the recovery of state losses due to corruption. Furthermore, this punishment concept also offers several benefits in achieving the goals of punishing offenders. With a clear obligation to pay compensation without compromise, perpetrators will work under state supervision to generate funds used to cover losses resulting from their actions.
