Abstract

This paper explains about peacemaking criminology, which acts as a peaceful medium for Indonesian returnees. Up till now, it turns out that Indonesia does not have a standard concept and method yet on handling returnees, despite the number of Indonesians who returned from Syria, Iraq and the Philippines reached 125 from 2014 to 2019. Therefore, peacemaking criminology can be used as a method for dealing with returnees because this approach puts forward the humanist aspect. This research used a qualitative approach by conducting unstructured interviews as well as literature as secondary material. In this research, it can be seen that humanist treatment towards those who have returned from a conflict state has a positive impact as they can be the agents of peace for other returnees. Thus, placing returnees as the agent of change through the peacemaking criminology approach will avoid them neither from re-radicalized nor return to the conflict states
