    Assessment Techniques and Relation Culture: As a Basis for Restorative Justice Decision Making for Elderly Criminals
    (2024-06-16) Tukino
    Elderly as a vulnerable group require a special approach in the legal process that considers humanitarian, health, and social aspects. Restorative justice offers an alternative solution outside the conventional justice system with a focus on restoring social relationships and rehabilitation. This study aims to analyze the use of assessment techniques and relational culture as a basis for decision-making in the application of restorative justice for elderly criminals. This study uses a qualitative approach with a descriptive method. The results of the study indicate that the application of criminal law to the elderly requires special attention to their vulnerable physical and psychological conditions, considering that prisons are often ineffective and can even worsen their condition. The restorative justice approach is considered a more humane solution, focusing on recovery and rehabilitation rather than retributive punishment. This approach takes into account the age, health, and financial capabilities of the elderly and offers alternatives such as mediation and compensation, with the aim of ensuring a fair and proportional settlement. Relational culture-based assessment techniques play an important role in restorative justice decisions, by providing an in-depth understanding of the cultural norms and social relationships of the elderly. This technique helps adapt the restorative justice process to local customs, pay attention to the impact of decisions on the elderly's social networks, and ensure that decisions support the rehabilitation and social integration of the elderly
