POLICE MEDIATION IN THE FRAMEWORK OF ACHIEVING RESTORATIVE JUSTICE (SOLUTIONS FOR JUSTICE AND LEGAL CERTAINTY)

Abstract

The concept of restorative justice refers to a form of justice that places a greater emphasis on holding offenders accountable in an effort to alleviate the suffering of victims but does so without sacrificing the goals of rehabilitation for offenders in order to establish and preserve public order. Currently, the criminal system in the Criminal Code still focuses on retributive justice, namely the main emphasis on punishing the perpetrators for what they have done. As a result, alternate solution situation closure through compromise is required as an expression of the idea of restorative justice.
