The aim of this research is to examine the challenges of implementing policies providing restitution for victims of criminal acts. This research method uses normative
juridical, examining aspects of currently applicable legal regulations. This research found that it is important to provide restitution for victims. Considering that so far the victim has only been represented by law enforcement officials. Even though there is a request for compensation by the public prosecutor, not everyone understands the procedure for applying for compensation for a criminal act. Victims really need to receive compensation regardless of age, educational background, and social status.
