MEDIATION IN PENAL MATTERS IN ROMANIA
Abstract
In Romania, the field of restorative justice is still an unknown one, and it is still a dilemma if this kind of judicial activity (successful in other jurisdictions around the world) will be a success in our county. In this context, becomes even more difficult to find the correct answer to the question if the mediation, as a form of restorative justice, is a viable solution, in Romanian system, and even more difficult to see the future of mediation in criminal matters. This possibility legally exits since 2006.
