Abstract

Indonesian criminal law system does not regulate pacific settlement mechanisms in the settlement of criminal cases. This does not correspond to reality where for certain types of crime, members of the society tend to resort to pacific settlements such as giving/seeking forgiveness or making peace agreements, which is done to make peace between the perpetrators and their victims, thus settling the case. This article is written based on research that is aimed at finding out the relationship between forgiveness and peace agreements, and the legal system that exist in Indonesia; analyzing the cause/motivation behind the preference for peaceful settlement mechanisms over criminal proceeding at a judiciary, and; analyzing the response of law enforcement officers to the result of peace agreement and reconciliation between victims and perpetrators. Several conclusions were drawn as the results of this study; first, forgiveness and peace agreements in pacific settlements of criminal cases are carried out based on consensual basis between the parties involved; second, forgiveness and peace agreements in pacific settlement of criminal cases embody some of the values contained in the state ideology of Indonesia.
