Summary/Abstract: Restorative justice is an idea which centres around repairing the harms and compensation. It is not focused on punishment. Its essence is to engage everyone affected by the crime, both the victim, and the offender, as well as the local community in the process of solving the problems arising out of the crime and repairing the damage and suffering which are resulting from it. Most of all, restorative justice allows the victims to speak as well as it makes it possible for the offender to take responsibility for their own actions voluntarily. It is based on determining the satisfactory compensation jointly, through dialogue and negotiations. One of the forms of restorative justice is mediation between the victim and the offender who, with the assistance of an impartial and neutral mediator, may amicably resolve any disputes resulting from the crime.
