concept that involves the victim in it is called Restorative Justice The purpose of this research is to applicate a model
of legal protection for the victims of pollution and or the environmental destruction by the corporation according to

showed that the program of the Environment Agency is currently a higher priority on prevention so it routinely do
counseling to various companies. In the case of the environment, will be settled according to the procedure. If the
case is easy then simply done the coaching course. For the model application of legal protection for the victims of
pollution and or the environmental destruction by the corporation according to the Restorative Justice principles not
easy to applied. Considering that the application of the restorative justice principle is difficult and is not grounded,
and then it needs to be evaluated by way of Environmental legislation must be reformulated, made changes primarily
related to sanctions against the perpetrators of the corporation. In the alternative dispute resolution should be included
restorative justice principle where interest between offenders and victims is accommodated and takes into account the
impact of the settlement of the criminal cases in the community. The second way applied strict liability (absolute
responsibility) for corporations so without waiting to see if there is a mistake or not for companies that pollute and
or environmental harm society if it liable.
