Abstract
Restorative Justice, which focuses on restoring relationships between perpetrators and victims, offering alternative solutions in resolving criminal cases. However, even though Restorative Justice has been regulated through PERPOL No. 8 of 2021 and PERJA no. 15 of 2020, this regulation does not involve the role of the court in determining the status of evidence. In fact, court involvement is necessary to ensure judicial control as a mechanism for protecting human rights and preventing absolute power in law enforcement agencies, especially the executive. The absence of court involvement in determining the status of evidence has the potential to create legal uncertainty and is contrary to principle check and balance. To overcome the regulatory vacuum, this research proposes the integration of a judicial control model through the involvement of the Chairman of the District Court (KPN) in the process of determining the status of goods as proof of the concept of integrating judicial control over Restorative Justice which was successful at the investigation/investigation stage at the police and prosecution at the prosecutor’s office, by involving the courts to ensure control and protection of the suspect’s constitutional rights.
