Narcotics pose a global issue that jeopardizes public order and endangers
both physical and mental well-being. Narcotics usage in Indonesia has
evolved into a multifaceted issue with extensive ramifications,
encompassing legal, social, psychological, and humanitarian dimensions.
This study aims to evaluate the prosecutor's authority in implementing
restorative justice for victims of narcotics misuse, in accordance with
statutory legislation. The employed methodology is a qualitative
descriptive approach. Data was acquired through comprehensive surveys
and conversations with prosecutors regarding the execution of their
powers. What is the function of the prosecutor's office within the criminal
justice system concerning positive law? Describing Narcotics Abuse
Cases through Restorative Justice by the Prosecutor's Office The
Restorative Justice Approach serves as an application of the Prosecutor's
Dominus Litis Principle, allowing the Prosecutor's Office the discretion
to cease prosecution of narcotics abuse suspects, thereby fostering a
justice system that prioritizes rehabilitation over mere criminalization.
