Penerapan Pendekatan Hukum Restoratif dalam Penyelesaian Kasus Bullying di MA Darussalihin Berru

Abstrak

This study aims to analyze the implementation of the Restorative School Justice approach in resolving bullying cases at MA Darussalihin Berru. This approach focuses on restoring social relationships and achieving justice for all parties involved rather than merely imposing sanctions on the offender. The research employed a qualitative method with a descriptive approach, using observation, interviews, and documentation for data collection. The findings reveal that the application of restorative justice in the school context is carried out through mediation sessions involving the perpetrator, the victim, and school representatives, with guidance from counseling teachers and homeroom teachers. This process emphasizes the offender’s responsibility to make amends, the victim’s opportunity to forgive, and the cultivation of empathy and social justice values. The implementation of Restorative School Justice has proven effective in significantly reducing bullying incidents and enhancing students’ legal awareness and moral character. However, challenges remain, such as limited understanding among some teachers regarding the concept of restorative justice and insufficient mediation training. The study recommends providing specialized training for educators and establishing a restorative school team to foster a safe, inclusive, and just learning environment.
