THE PERSON DEPRIVED OF LIBERTY AND THE RESTORATIVE JUSTICE.

The concept of restorative justice offers a new way of approaching and understanding all the concepts with which professionals in the field of criminal law work: crime, offender, victim, criminal trial, criminal sanction, imprisonment, etc. Restorative justice aims to balance the problems of the victim and the community, as well as the need for social reintegration of the offender, to assist the victim in the recovery process and to give all parties the right to be present and to be actively involved in justice. caused by the commission of an offense, based on an approach involving not only the parties but also the community at large, in close liaison with specialized institutions in the field. Starting from the hypotheses according to which the crime has its origins in social conditions and community relations, that crime prevention depends on the assumption by local and central authorities of responsibilities related to social policy to remedy the conditions that cause crime, the consequences of the crime can not be fully resolved for the parties without their personal involvement, the main objectives of restorative justice are: - to respond to the needs of the victims - material, financial, emotional and social needs (including those close to the victim, who may also be affected); - to prevent recidivism by reintegrating criminals into the community; - to determine the criminals to actively assume responsibility for their deeds; - to create a community that supports the rehabilitation of criminals and victims and that is active in crime prevention; - to provide some means of avoiding the burden of the criminal system, costs and delays, but also the abandonment by society of passive roles in traditional retributive, rehabilitative justice.
