Abstract

Local wisdom is the ideas, concepts, and values maintained by communities to address all challenges in their lives. Community life exists in a dynamic environment, thus inherently changing over time. The modernization era has shifted communities from traditional to modern, with both positive and negative impacts. One negative impact is the increasingly diverse modus operandi of criminal acts. This situation presents challenges to the resolution of criminal cases, which have traditionally been traditional. However, local wisdom, as a dynamic guideline in community life, has in fact provided criminal case resolution efforts that can adapt to societal changes. Therefore, exploring local wisdom is urgently needed to address the challenges of criminal case resolution in the modernization era. This study is a normative legal study using secondary data consisting of primary, secondary, and tertiary legal materials. The data were collected through literature review and analyzed using qualitative descriptive methods to draw conclusions. The results show that local wisdom is closely related to community life as a wise idea or concept for resolving conflicts. This is based on the living values embodied in the community's local wisdom as a guideline for living all aspects of life. The essence of local wisdom in resolving criminal cases lies in its goal of restoring cosmic balance, namely the relationship between humans and other humans, nature, and the beliefs held by the community. This goal is highly relevant to addressing changes in the modern era. Despite transformations in life, it remains consistent in protecting cosmic balance.
