Abstract The environmental justice has emerged as a central issue for the international community in the era of environmentally sound economic development. In connection with the aim to answer the problems of environmental pollution and irresponsible environmental management actions faced by many countries, DPA offers a strategic solution to solve the environmental management problems carried out by corporations radically in order to prevent the potential for sustainable damage. In its development, the concept of Deferred Prosecution Agreement (DPA) has been mobilized by many countries as a component in the law enforcement system because it is considered capable of offering a win win solution. On the one hand, the corporation benefits because it is not always obliged to carry out punishment, while on the other hand the state is also not disadvantaged because DPA can minimize the amount of costs incurred to carry out criminal prosecution and prevent structural impacts in the community due to punishment of corporations. This research is conducted with a doctrinal approach. This research is expected to describe, analyze, and answer the problem of whether DPA as a means of crime control that relies on the principles of efficiency, maximization, and balance can be integrated as part of the criminal policy order in order to meet the objectives of criminal law reform with an economic approach and legal benefits and oriented to the value and purpose of punishment.
