Abstract
The general populace in Yogyakarta is experiencing a large amount of disturbance and concern as a result of a sort of street crime known as klitih. The purpose of this research is to evaluate the implementation of restorative justice in instances involving child abuse in order to enhance both community protection and educational opportunities for children. Normative legal approaches are utilized in this work, and a normative juridical perspective is taken into consideration. Normative approaches were used to conduct the analysis once the data was gathered through the process of conducting a full evaluation of the already available literature. The findings of the research indicate that restorative justice has the potential to achieve a peaceful equilibrium between the protection of the community and the rehabilitation of children who have been involved in circumstances of child abuse. The alignment of rules and regulations, the enhancement of the efficiency of execution, the adaptation of procedures, the utilization of technology, and the formation of partnerships with organizations that are part of civil society are all ways in which this can be accomplished. The findings of this study indicate that the implementation of restorative justice measures has the potential to effectively contribute to the construction of a society in Yogyakarta that is safer, more equal, and more cohesive.
