Restorative justice underscores the need for

victims' harms to be repaired to the extent

possible.

Compensation and restitution are two ways this

may be done.


(3)

TERMINOLOGY OF


(4)

Any certain crimes would result in losses to

victims. Victims of crime must bear losses due to

crime materially or immaterially. But the

completion of criminal proceedings, often lead

victims to receive inadequate legal protection.

Compensation is a kind of victim’s protection as

part of human’s rights. They also have rights to

obtain compensation and restitution

.

Compensation and restitution are payments

made to victims of crimes which are intended

either to remedy the current situation or to

compensate for the past losses (for instance loss

of life) which cannot be remedied.

 


(5)

In society there is a need to measures against

those who jeopardize the individual interests. The

awareness that harm the interests of citizens, is

also a violation of the public interest

. I

n such a

way as to end the acts of revenge which called

the principle of reciprocity or ius talionis (law of

 

retaliation). It is

agreed by the community that

someone who has caused harm to the interests

of others should pay compensation to people and

society

.

According to the LHC Hulsman, this

practice has lasted from the Middle Ages until the

13th century, where the majority of human

conflicts resolved in compensation.


(6)

Restitution

The term "restitution" in the criminal justice system

means payment by an offender to the victim for the

harm caused by the offender's wrongful acts.

 

Courts have the authority to order convicted

offenders to pay restitution to victims as part of

their sentences. Approximately one-third of states,

 

courts are required to order restitution to victims in

cases involving certain types of crimes, typically


(7)

Restitution can cover any out-of-pocket losses

directly relating to the crime, including:

a. medical expenses,

b. therapy costs, 

c. prescription charges, 

d. counseling costs, 

e. lost wages, 

f. expenses related to participating in the criminal

justice process (such as travel costs, child care

expenses, etc.), 

g. lost or damaged property, 

h. insurance deductibles, 

i. crime-scene clean up, or any other expense that

resulted directly from the crime. 


(8)

Restitution will not cover such things as pain

and suffering or emotional distress, only

damages that are easy to prove-things for which

a victim might have a bill or a receipt.


(9)

History

Code of

Hammurabi

in the 18

th

century included provisions

for restitution.

In Saxon, England, a legal system developed which provided

for restitution to the victim’s family and to King for

violating his/her peace.

Modern restitution can be traced to the criminal laws that

authorized suspended sentences and the use of probation.

By the late 1930s, restitution could be ordered as a

condition of probation.

In the late 1970s and 1980s, victims’ movement began to

argue that restitution should be viewed as protecting

victims from suffering financial hardship


(10)

Types of Restitution

Financial restitution

Most commonly, requires offender to make payments directly to

the actual victim of the crime.

Financial-community restitution.

Requires offender to make payments to a community agency such

as a restitution center, which then pays the victim.

Individual service restitution

Requires the offender to perform a service for the actual victim

Community service restitution

Requires the offender to perform some beneficial service to the

community

Restitution fines

Collected and deposited in the state’s crime victim compensation

fund


(11)

Problems with Restitution

The system of restitution are usually overworked

and lack of financial resources.

It is still unclear regarding the division of work to

collect and disburse funds for the victim.

Lack of communication amongst agencies and

between agencies and victims.

Victims feel dissatisfied with the process.

Difficulty in deciding which victims of crime to get

the restitution.


(12)

The difference between restitution and civil

damages

Restitution, as noted above, is ordered by a criminal court after the

offender has been found guilty. Civil damages are ordered when

 

someone has won a lawsuit in civil court. Victims of crime can

 

obtain both restitution and civil damages. A victim can sue an

 

offender even when the offender has been ordered to pay

restitution. Civil damages can include losses not covered by

 

restitution, such as payment for pain and suffering, payment for

intentional infliction of emotional distress, and even punitive

damages-damages imposed just to punish the defendant. However,

 

as in cases where the victim receives crime victim compensation

and court-ordered restitution, victims cannot collect twice for the

same loss. Usually a civil judgment is decreased by the amount of

 


(13)

Increasing the likelihood that restitution will be

ordered

Victims can do two things to increase the likelihood that restitution will be ordered

in their case: gather information about their financial loss, and request that  

restitution be ordered. 

To increase the chances that restitution will be ordered, victims should make sure

their victim impact statement includes a summary of the out-of-pocket expenses resulting from the crime. 1 The prosecutor's office may have financial impact forms that can help victims think about the possible losses that could be covered by

restitution.   

Victims should also tell prosecutors early in the process that restitution is important

to them, so that prosecutors can be prepared to request restitution as part of any plea agreement, sentence, or condition of probation. If victims have the opportunity  

to address the court at the time a plea agreement is presented or at sentencing, they should specifically describe the financial impact of the crime and, if permitted in that state, request restitution. (In some states, a victim's in-court statement must be  

limited to describing the impact of the offense and cannot include any opinion about the sentence that should be given, including restitution. In those states, the  


(14)

Courts may order full or partial restitution

When courts order restitution, they will not

consider at the victim's losses alone but also at

the offender's ability to pay. In some States, the

 

court may reduce the total amount of restitution

ordered if the offender is unlikely to be able to

pay that amount. In other States, courts will

 

order the offender to pay for the full amount of

the loss, but then set a payment schedule based

on the offender's finances, which may only be a

minimal amount per month.

 


(15)

Collecting restitution

 

 

Collection of restitution is often limited by the offender's ability to pay. As a  

result, many victims wait for many years before they receive any restitution, and they might never receive the full amount of restitution ordered. 

Collection also depends on enforcement of the court's order of restitution, either

by the criminal justice system or the victim. There are many laws and procedures  

used to make sure the offender pays as ordered.

For example, where payment of restitution is made a condition of probation or

parole, the probation or parole officer must monitor whether payments are being made on time. The victim may help provide this information to the probation or  

parole officer. If the offender is about to be released from probation or parole,  

but has not paid restitution as ordered, this information must be conveyed to the court or parole board. Victims who have not received restitution as ordered  

should ask the probation or parole officer how this information will be provided to the court or parole board. In some states, probation or parole can be extended  


(16)

In those States with prison work programs, restitution payments are

typically collected out of the wages of those programs. Some states

 

collect restitution from state income tax refunds, prisoner accounts,

lottery winnings, or damage awards from lawsuits against the prison.

  

Where the offender has not paid restitution as ordered-has

"defaulted" in payment-restitution often can be collected by the same

methods used to enforce other court judgments, such as attachments

of assets or garnishment of wages. In some states, the victim is

 

authorized to take these actions; in other states, enforcement is up to

the prosecutor, the court, or another official.


(17)

Many states provide that restitution orders become

civil judgments. This expands the ability of victims to

 

collect restitution and also means the orders can stay

in effect for many years, typically ten to twenty years.

 

In many jurisdictions, civil judgments can be renewed,

so they can stay in effect even longer. During that

 

time, the offender's financial circumstances may

change: he or she may have inherited property, won a

legal judgment, or become employed. Depending on

  

the state, the civil judgment may be enforceable

immediately, or enforceable when the offender

defaults on payment, or enforceable only after the

criminal justice process is completed and the offender

has been released from probation, prison, or parole. A

 

victim may need to hire an attorney to help enforce the

civil judgment.


(18)

The difference between restitution

and compensation

While restitution is court-ordered payment from a convicted offender, crime victim

compensation is a state government program that pays many of the out-of-pocket expenses of victims of violent crime even when there is no arrest or prosecution.  

Ordinarily, to be eligible for compensation the victim is required to report the offense within a certain amount of time, cooperate in the investigation and prosecution, and file an application within a set time. The expenses covered by  

compensation vary and are usually set by state law. All compensation programs  

cover medical expenses, most cover counseling, and very few cover any property loss.

In comparison, restitution can only be ordered in cases where someone has been

convicted. However, restitution can be ordered in almost any case (although  

courts may be required to order it only for certain offenses), and can be ordered for a wider variety of losses, including property loss.

A victim cannot collect both compensation and restitution for the same losses.  

Where compensation has already paid for some of the victim's losses, a court may order the offender to reimburse the state compensation program and order the  


(19)

Compensation

Victim compensation is a direct payment to, or on

behalf of, a crime victim for crime-related

expenses such as unpaid medical bills, mental

health counseling, funeral costs, and lost wages

Victims applying for compensation must comply

with certain requirements including reporting the

crime and filing claims by certain deadlines

Once all pertinent information is gathered, the

agency will decide whether to make an award,

and the monetary value of that award to the

victim


(20)

Compensation -Eligibility

Not all victims of every crime are eligible for state

compensation.

In general, the majority of states limit compensation to

victims who suffered injuries as a result of the criminal

conduct of another and to survivors of homicides

Some states require some sort of physical injury and

others allow for physical or mental injuries

Most states allow the parents of deceased victims to

collect compensation

Most states disallow some classes of persons from

eligibility such as firefighters and police officers and

prisoners


(21)

Compensation and restitution for serious

victims of human rights violations, in

international law said that the victim’s of gross

human rights violations have right to know,

rights to justice and rights to reparation.

Based on these three rights, victims and their

families also have the right to know the truth

or to know the truth about what happened, to

have access to effective remedies, and also

have the right to justice through prosecution

and punishment of the perpetrators.


(22)

Currently the principle of indemnity has been replaced with the

concept of public punishment, where the penalty is no longer

imposed (determined) by individuals who are victims, but by the

public (State).

The State has an obligation to prosecute and adequately punish

perpetrators and not granting amnesty to the officers or agents of

the State, until they were sued in the courts. Countries are also

obliged to provide healing to the victims

A country have obligation to provide recovery and must ensure that

domestic law provides at least the same standard of protection to

what became an international responsibility or liability. States must

give or provide to victims of human rights violations or violations of

the laws of war with the effective and equal access to justice and

should also provide an effective remedy or victims, including


(23)

The obligation to provide reparations to victims is an

unnecessary liability associated with the presence or

absence of judicial (courts). This means that reparations to

the victims of violations of human rights have the right to a

good recovery are responsible to justice or not. This is

consistent with the definition of victims of human rights

that a person can be regarded as victims, regardless of

whether the perpetrators identified or is not successful, or

not arrested, prosecuted or not, and regardless of the

fraternal relations between the victims with the

perpetrators. Therefore, it is a basic principle that what is

known as the victim cannot be affected if the culprit cannot

be identified. According to international law, the victim

called if their rights are violated. When a crime or violence

occur, then it is when the person is to obtain the status of

victim.


(24)

Genocide and crimes against humanity are crimes that fall

into the category of extraordinary crime. The occurrence of

such crimes raised the obligation of the State to make

reparation for the victims. The obligation to make

reparation to the victims is the responsibility of the

countries that have been mandated on various human

rights instruments and reaffirmed in decisions (case law) of

the committees of international and regional human rights.

Obligations of State responsibility for violations of

international human rights law allows individuals or groups

who have been victims in the regions of the country to

receive effective treatment of legal and equitable remedies

in accordance with international law.


(25)

One of the important instruments, which became

the basis for the obligation of reparation for victims

is the Basic Principles and Guidelines on the Right to

Remedy and Reparation for Victims of Violations of

International Human Rights and Humanitarian Law,

1995) ,

Declaration of Basic principles of Justice for

Victims of Crime and Abuse Power, 1 September

1985 of UN Declarations No. A/Res/40/34, 1985

and

Rome Statute of the International Criminal

Court, July 17

Based on the

Rome Statute of the International

Criminal Court, Article 75.

It is confirms that the

existence of guarantees for the victims in obtaining

material restitution and immaterial.

THE ARRANGEMENTS OF

COMPENSATION AND RESTITUTION

IN INDONESIA POSITIVE LAW


(32)

1.The Criminal Procedure Code (KUHAP) of 1981

Article 1 point 22:

“Restitution is the right for the fulfillment of demands in

exchange for a sum of money because of illegal arrested,

detained, prosecuted or tried by law or wrong targeted to

the person or law that applied provided in this Act.”

Article 2 point 23 :

“Rehabilitations is right to recover of the capabilities, status

and dignity given to the level of investigation, prosecution

or the judiciary because of illegal arrested, detained,

prosecuted or by mistake on a person or law that applied in

this Act”


(33)

In the criminal code, the compensation granted

to victims is not satisfied, because of

inappropriate provisions referred to in article 98,

paragraph 1, which States that third parties who

have suffered losses, and this can be understood

as a victim, may submit a claim for liability fusion.

 

Article 98 point 1 :

“If an act which became the basis of the

accusation in an investigation of the criminal case

by the damage that causes State Court for others,

then the Chief of Court, at the request of the

perpetrator can be set to join the prosecution

cases of grievances


(34)

However, compensation and restitution for victims of gross

violations of human rights are within the " compensation ". This is

seen in the definition of compensation and restitution in the Law

No. 26 of the year 2000 and or Gov. Reg. No. 3 of the year 2002.

Although the right to rehabilitation Act 26 of the year 2000 shows

the victims, and not against the suspects or accused as stipulated in

the code of criminal procedure.

Article 1 on Gov. Reg No. 3 of the year 2002 concerning about

compensation, restitution and rehabilitation:

“Compensation is the compensation awarded by the state because

the actors are not able to provide full restitution of responsibility

.

“Restitution is compensation provided to victims or their families by

the offender or third parties may include the return of property,

damages for loss or suffering or reimbursement for certain actions

Rehabilitation is to restore to its original position, such as honor,

good name, title or other rights


(35)

Restitution to victims in the Criminal Procedure Code does

not explain in detail about the form of compensation to

victims

.

It is seen that the arrangements regarding the

compensation of victims in the Criminal Procedure Code

only "attached" to the setting on the incorporation of legal

action in criminal cases

.

However, it is understood that the

losses of the victims of crime in the code of criminal

procedure, which may only be requested in an application

for reimbursement by the loss of material and the

immaterial is not covering the losses of the victims to sue

in civil society

.

Therefore, the settings in the code of

criminal procedure, the protection of the victims of their

rights are not receiving sufficient protection configuration

in comparison with the rights of suspects, accused and

convicted

such physical, mental and emotional, financial loss or

experience denial, reduction or the expropriation of

their basic rights, as a result of gross violations of

human rights, including the victim's heirs are.”


(37)

The rights of the victims, recognized in national legal

systems of the Law No 26/2000, regarding Human

Right's court. This Act provide other forms of

compensation to the victims of gross violations of

human rights as set out in the definition of the

restoration. This is called restoration to the victim or

his/her family, which includes the return of the goods,

the payment of damages for the loss or suffering or the

reimbursement of certain actions. These forms of

compensation, if borne by the State of the terminology

used is "Compensation", which means that other forms

of compensation to victims in the Law No 26 of the


(38)

Based on the above provisions, compensation to

victims of serious human rights violations

imposed on the two sides of the perpetrator and

the state. The perpetrators of the offence

charged or any third party to compensate the

victim, and that is what is defined as " restitution

". While in compensation, compensation of load

to the victims was taken by the Government

when the perpetrator or a third party cannot

afford of paying full compensation to victims.

With this provision, the concept of State

responsibility for victims of crime (serious

violations of human rights) emerged.

The settings in the Law No. 13/2006 is a bit

different from the Law No. 26/2000 on Human
