Problem-solving courts and restorative justice programs provide important new alternatives to cope with recurring problems in the criminal justice process. But they are much more. They are harbingers of a new theory of the criminal justice process that challenges traditional accounts in fundamental ways. Although practices akin to problem-solving courts and restorative justice have long operated outside or below the radar of the theory of criminal law and the adjudicative process, over the past few decades these practices have come to the fore and are now supported with full-blown theories, which threaten to displace traditional accounts of criminal responsibility, criminal liability, and indeed the core features of the criminal justice process. The new theories are based on theories of regulation, where the objective is not so much to enforce the law as it is to secure compliance to the law in order to facilitate harm reduction and restore social order. Nowhere is this new development so clearly seen as in the opening chapters of John Braithwaite’s important book, Restorative Justice and Responsive Regulation. In this book, Braithwaite offers a full-throated theory of the new criminal justice process that is based on recent developments in regulatory theory and, most particularly, responsive regulation, which Braithwaite helped to develop. This model is implicit to varying degrees in any number of recent developments in the criminal justice process, and in this paper, I argue it has the potential for displacing the classical theory of criminal law.

The crime of rape is the most difficult case in the settlement, either at the stage of investigation, prosecution, or at the stage of the adjudication of the verdict. Legal protection of victims of criminal rape in positive law in Indonesia is currently not based on the value of justice, because there are still weaknesses, namely the weakness of the law, the weakness of the approach / way of thinking of law enforcers, as well as the weaknesses during the criminal justice process.

The positive law still dominates in Indonesian’s law. Currently the legal institutions must do a new beginning. Legal proceedings not often able to resolve the law issue clearly, even provide the substantive justice for both of the perpetrators and the victims. The discovery of progressive law in the criminal justice process is indispensable today.  For example is to implement the progressive judge’s decision that’s mean it is not just legalistic as a depictions of the constitution, judge’s decision not only to maintain order but to deliver improvements in public and to build the social harmonitations. For the last, judge’s decision must be visionary that reborned the courage morality  and legal breakthrough for the better nation.

On 1 April 1996, a rather odd provision was introduced into the Scottish criminal justice process, namely a duty on both prosecution and defence to try to agree uncontroversial evidence in advance of criminal trial.1 As far as the writer is aware, such a provision is unique, although the philosophy underlying its introduction is not totally alien to inquisitorial systems of criminal justice.2 What is particularly peculiar about this duty is that there is no sanction for a failure, however unreasonable, to agree uncontroversial evidence.3 The lack of a sanction resulted from a concern that the creation of any penalty would impinge unjustifiably upon the rights of the accused. The intention in this article is to explore in detail the relationship between the duty to agree uncontroversial evidence and the position of the accused, and to suggest that the imposition of a sanction for a breach of this duty is not as problematic as was thought by those responsible for the legislation.
