Abstract
Law enforcement by deliberation and consensus or Restorative Justice System conducted by the Police and Community
Partnership Forum is another police effort in law enforcement beyond the law enforcement in conformity through the
District Court. Problems reviewed: 1) What is the legal aspect of the Police and Community Partnership Forum? 2) What
is the benefit of the implementation of a criminal case settlement through Deliberation and Consensus or Restorative
Justice for society and the State? 3) What are the obstacles faced by the process? The research that the authors do is a
sociological law study and the approaches used include actual daily practice approaches or empirical statutes, conceptual
approaches and comparative approaches. The deliberative and consensus-based policy on the settlement of criminal
disputes in Indonesia has not been largely regulated while most of the settlement of criminal disputes are resolved
conspicuously through the general criminal court of the District Court. However, in daily practice in the Semarang city
community, there is a criminal dispute settlement through the deliberative and consensus process / Restorative Justice
that is pioneered by the Police and Community Partnership Forum. Restorative Justice's policy in criminal cases has not
been set in Indonesia's positive law, but the future will show the development and attention of Restorative Justice as an
alternative judiciary, evidenced by its accommodation in the judicial law of a child. The conclusion is that in real life
practice there has been a criminal case settlement through the "Restorative Justice System" pioneered by the Police and
Community Partnership Forum, this is a manifestation of the practice of Pancasila values.
