This research aims to deeply examine and analyze ideal restorative justice policies, focusing on implementing rehabilitative criminal law enforcement. By directly observing law in action, it explores the implementation and impact of these policies, providing insights into effective, humane approaches within the criminal justice system. The main problems are how are the progressivism of restorative justice policies works in actualizing rehabilitative criminal enforcement. The research method used is socio-legal, involving the study of secondary data and conducting interviews. The collected data is then analyzed qualitatively. The urgency of this study lies in the frequent use of restorative justice policies for prosecuting criminal offenders. Through recent comprehensive socio-legal research, this study examines the ideal implementation of restorative justice to achieve rehabilitative criminal law enforcement. Findings suggest that restorative justice should empower law enforcers to use penal codes as rehabilitative tools. The study concludes that restorative justice policies should mandate compensation requirements proportionate to the perpetrator's crime, ensuring a balanced and effective rehabilitative approach within the legal framework. © Author(s).
