The Restorative Justice approach in the criminal justice system has developed as a response to the limitations of the law enforcement paradigm that is still oriented toward retributive justice. This approach often raises various problems, such as overcrowding of correctional institutions, lengthy judicial processes, and inadequate victim recovery. This research aims to analyze the concept of Restorative Justice in criminal case handling and the importance of government institutional collaboration in supporting its implementation in Indonesia's criminal justice system. The research method used is normative juridical research with a statutory and conceptual approach. The results indicate that Restorative Justice emphasizes victim recovery, offender accountability, and community participation in resolving criminal conflicts. Its implementation requires synergy among government institutions, such as the police, prosecutors, and correctional institutions, so that the case resolution process can run effectively and in an integrated manner. Collaboration among institutions is an important factor in realizing criminal case resolution that is not only oriented toward legal certainty, but also toward humane justice oriented toward social relationship recovery.
