The application of restorative justice by the Pasaman District Prosecutor's Office to perpetrators of criminal acts of narcotics abuse is an approach in the criminal justice system that focuses on restoration, reconciliation and restoration of relationships damaged by criminal acts.

And the effort to overcome the obstacles is by profiling or mapping, where the prosecutor's office must look at the perpetrator's legal status, user history, to his involvement in using the narcotic
