AbstrakPenggunaan sistem peradilan pidana modern sebagai sarana pendistribusi keadilan terbukti menjumpai banyak hambatan, salah satu faktor penyebabnya adalah dikarenakan peradilan modern sarat dengan beban formalitas, prosedur, birokrasi dan metodologi yang ketat serta masih dilakukannya satu proses yang sama bagi semua jenis masalah.. sehingga keadilan yang diperoleh masyarakat modern tidak lain adalah keadilan birokratis,sedangkan tujuan hukum yang dicapai hanyalah kepastian hukum saja. Hal ini sangat bertentangan dengan keinginan masyarakat yang mendambakan keadilan substansial. Melalui penelitian ini, peneliti mengeksplorasi nilai-nilai kearifan lokal masyarakat di Inuman Kabupaten Kuantan Singingi,yang sering dijadikan alternatif penyelesai perkara pidana diluar pengadilan formal. Peneliti berharap hasil dari penelitian ini akan menjadi masukan bagi aparat penegak ]]>
