In criminal law enforcement, justice should be given not only in the form of punishment to the perpetrator. Budi Sastra Panjaitan occurs because of the role of the victim who has provoked the perpetrator. This research was conducted using the normative legal research method and a qualitative approach. This study determined the relationship between provocations of victims in criminal acts and how justice is achieved between perpetrators and victims who have provoked the occurrence of the crime.
