Crime prevention are an integral part of efforts to protect society (social defense). In a context of the criminal justice system, the function of criminal law is to provide protection for the rights and interests of individuals, both perpetrators and victims of criminal law. The research is an empirical legal research. The results show that the essence of the claim for compensation for crime victims in national regulations is an effort made by providing a place for crime victims to obtain justice, benefit and legal certainty as an objective of the law. The mechanism for claiming compensation for crime victims has never been prosecuted for compensation by the public prosecutor. Hence, the ideal concept of the provisions in the claim for compensation can be done through regulations in compensation claims both for restitution and compensation in the implementing rules both material and formal criminal law.
