Restorative justice makes its presence felt more and more in world legislation, but also in national legislation. Worldwide, it is characterized by a strong development, which makes it increasingly accepted in practice.
It is a justice full of understanding, which is concerned with the needs of the victims of the crime.
Supporters of restorative justice have in mind the observance of a set of values, which we also find in Romanian legislation, at the institution of mediation.
