Mediacja jako szansa pojednania sprawcy i ofiary przestępstwa w sprawach z zakresu prawa karnego

Abstract

Mediation is a result of searching for new, rational alternative means of responding to crime and methods to include a wider range of the victims’ interests. The aim of mediation is the settlement and reconciliation between the victim and the offender. It is based on negotiations between the mediator, an impartial observer. Parties involved in the mediation process should be able to openly and honestly express their views and feelings and to proceed a voluntary, negotiated conflict-free way to redress the damage caused by the offender in the presence of a mediator.
