Abstract

This paper explains about peace-making criminology which acts as a peaceful medium for Indonesian returnees. Up till now, it turns out that Indonesia does not have a standard concept and method yet on handling returnees, despite the number of Indonesians who returned from Syria, Iraq and the Philippines reached 125 from 2014 to 2019. Therefore, peace-making criminology can be used as a method for dealing with returnees because this approach puts forward the humanist aspect. This research used a qualitative approach by conducting unstructured interviews as well as literature as secondary material. In this research, it can be seen that humanist treatment towards those who have returned from a conflict state has a positive impact as they can be the agents of peace for other returnees. Thus, placing returnees as the agent of change through peace-making criminology approach will avoid them neither from re-radicalized nor return to the conflict states.
