Considerații privind justiția restaurativă pentru minori din România
Considerations regarding the juvenile restorative justice in Romania

Summary/Abstract: In recent decades, as well as in Romania, most criminal justice systems, including in the field of juvenile crime are facing many problems, on questions whose answers are more contradictory, such as: what is the basic purpose of punishment? The purpose of the penalty is the sentence to disabling or removing the offender from society? The purpose of the sentence imposed intends to rehabilitate or change the behaviour of the offender? Are criminal sentences intended to discourage others to commit crimes? etc. But the most important issues of criminal justice systems are the failure of sanctions with a repressive feature and of sanctions of imprisonment and also the problems of crime victims, who feel victimized twice, first by the offender and the second time by the criminal justice system that ignores them, which makes them more frustrated and alienated. This study aims to analyse briefly the system of restorative justice for minors in Romania, compared to that of some European Union countries, the study that is intended to be useful to the public in identifying and applying the most appropriate and effective solutions to the conflicts offender - victim and the specific problems of juvenile crime prevention activities.
