This condition creates a gap between legal practice (law in action) and written legal norms (law on the books), thus raising issues related to legal certainty, legitimacy, and consistency of its application. This study aims to analyze the development of restorative justice from a legal sociology perspective and the implications of the lack of integrated normative regulations. The research method used is normative legal research with a conceptual approach and a legal sociology approach. Data were obtained through a literature review of primary and secondary legal materials, including sectoral regulations such as Police Regulations, Prosecutor's Regulations, and Supreme Court Regulations, which were then analyzed qualitatively. The results of the study indicate that restorative justice has strong roots in customary law as living law, but its implementation in the formal legal system is still sectoral and fragmented. Therefore, the formation of comprehensive legislation is needed to ensure legal certainty, strengthen legitimacy, and create consistency in its application in Indonesia.</p> Raden Jossy Sutari Belgradoputra Copyright (c) 2026 Raden Jossy Sutari Belgradoputra https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0 2026-07-02 2026-07-02 5 1 https://ejournal.psthi.or.id/index.php/ILCALaw/article/view/75 <p>Drug abuse is a complex issue that encompasses not only legal aspects but also social and health dimensions. The research problems in this study are: how the Karawang District Court judges considered in delivering Decision Number 325/Pid.Sus/2022/PN Kwg, and what efforts have been made for the prevention and protection of narcotics abusers in Karawang Regency. The research method used is normative juridical, with a statutory approach and descriptive analysis. The results of the study indicate that the defendant, Jemi Permadi alias Jemi bin Hasim, was legally and convincingly proven guilty of committing a criminal act without authorization as an intermediary in the sale and purchase of Class I narcotics (methamphetamine), as specified in Article 114 paragraph (1) of Law Number 35 of 2009 concerning Narcotics. Based on the trial findings, all elements of the offense were fulfilled, and no justifying or excusing reasons were found. For his actions, the panel of judges sentenced the defendant to seven years of imprisonment and a fine of IDR 1,000,000,000.00, with a subsidiary imprisonment of six months. On the other hand, the Karawang Regency Government has demonstrated a strong commitment to combating narcotics abuse through preventive, repressive, and rehabilitative approaches. This is reflected in the cooperation with the Karawang National Narcotics Agency (BNNK) and the implementation of Regional Regulation Number 9 of 2019, which emphasizes the importance of medical and social rehabilitation for addicts. These are in line with the efforts of the principles of Law Number 35 of 2009, which recognizes addicts as individuals entitled to legal protection and health recovery.</p> Adinda Rizki Nursanda Nia Ayu Mayang Sari Copyright (c) 2026 Adinda Rizki Nursanda, Nia Ayu Mayang Sari https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0 2026-07-02 2026-07-02 5 1
