Restorative-Justice-Based Handling of Electronic Defamation Offences at Barru District Police
Main Article Content
Abstract
This normative-empirical study examines the handling of alleged electronic defamation through restorative justice at the Barru District Police. It distinguishes the substantive requirements of the applicable offence from the procedural requirements of Police Regulation No. 8 of 2021, and considers investigator accounts alongside limitations of the available case documentation. The reported aggregate of 39 cases and 14 restorative settlements cannot, without case-level records, establish the legality or effectiveness of every resolution. The study identifies the need for documented voluntary consent, restoration of victims’ rights, formal review of eligibility, and written decisions on termination. Social pressure, refusal to settle, and gaps in accessible records are treated as issues for safeguarding due process, not proof of institutional failure.
