Summary/Abstract: The article aims to discuss the ideas, assumptions, models and forms of restorative justice. Along with an attempt to systematize them and look for common features across the restorative justice movement, which covers many spheres of social life. To this end, the unique way in which crime and other deviant behavior are treated in this approach is explained. Next, views on the ideas, principles and goals of restorative justice are confronted. On this basis, it argues that mediation should not be equated with restorative justice, since it does not meet the needs of all actors – the victim, the offender and the community. In the second part of the article, the various forms of restorative justice were described and systematized.
