Abstract

This study examines the application of restorative justice in domestic violence cases at the Tanjung Perak District Prosecutor’s Office in Surabaya, based on Prosecutor’s Regulation No. 15 of 2020. Using an empirical juridical approach with qualitative methods, data were collected through literature reviews, document analysis, and interviews with prosecutors. The results indicate that restorative justice is applied only in minor domestic violence cases, provided both parties agree to reconcile. Success is influenced by peace agreements, the prosecutor's active role, and social support, while failure stems from emotional resistance, public pressure, and unmet formal requirements.
