Optimization of the Restorative Justice System in Supporting Law Enforcement Performance in the Era of the Industrial Revolution 4.0 at the Tanjung Priok Port Police Station

Abstract

The objective of this research is to assess how the Tanjung Priok Port Police implements the restorative justice system to enhance law enforcement in the context of the Fourth Industrial Revolution (Industry 4.0). The study evaluates various aspects of the system, including implementation, procedures, and synergy. To conduct this analysis, the research draws upon system theory, procedure theory, implementation theory, and the principles of restorative justice. The research methodology employs a descriptive analysis approach, utilizing qualitative methods to gain comprehensive insights. The results indicate that the restorative justice system at the Tanjung Priok Port Police has not been fully optimized in terms of implementation. Therefore, measures for optimization are necessary, such as enhancing the quality of personnel, increasing the budget, improving facilities and infrastructure, implementing comprehensive prevention of case intervention and case brokering, and prioritizing the Kapolri program to enhance law enforcement performance through restorative justice. Regarding procedures, the restorative justice system of the Tanjung Priok Port Police is also suboptimal. Hence, optimization efforts can include engaging experts, practitioners, academics, and community leaders, enhancing public understanding, and developing the role of conventional and online media as external supervisors. The synergy aspect reveals that the implementation of the restorative justice system by the Tanjung Priok Port Police is not yet fully optimized. Therefore, steps to enhance optimization involve improving the composition, ability, and professionalism of the members, particularly in soft skills such as communication, negotiation, and decision-making. Utilizing the support of local governments and stakeholders, as well as establishing MoUs with stakeholders involved in port activities, particularly in addressing work accidents, can prioritize restorative justice.
