The results show that the basic principle of restorative justice is to emphasize justice in providing protection for perpetrators and victims as well as a reference for parties including the police as mediators, perpetrators, victims and the people involved. Resolution through penal mediation to protect women’ rights must first know what women’ rights have been violated.
