Summary/Abstract: Mediation as an institution for the settlement of disputes under petty offences law is a relatively new concept. However, given the nature of petty offences and the degree of the social harm they cause, it is gaining in importance as an amicable dispute resolution alternative to court proceedings in which conflicts between the petty offence perpetrator and the victim can be resolved. This article aims at presenting mediation as a modernised approach to the philosophy of responsibility for committing a petty offence, based on the idea of corrective justice from the victim’s perspective.
