Abstract

Referring to the regulations currently in force in Indonesia, where in essence criminal law is not capable of resolving problems at the level of court institutions, however, in certain cases, it is possible to resolve a criminal case outside the court. Although usually the resolution of criminal cases outside of court occurs in civil cases, in practice there are also cases where criminal cases are resolved outside of court with the existence of a discretion by Law Enforcement Officials with a deliberation mechanism and accompanied by a mediator between those in conflict.

In this case, resolving a case outside of court is often called mediation, which is carried out using a third person as a mediator to help resolve a criminal case. Where in this research there was an act that violated a criminal act, namely vehicle theft, which was resolved using and referring to the perspective of criminal law carried out by the Village Head as a mediator between the two parties involved in the case.
