Abstract

The author of the article came to the conclusion that there are two competing models of criminal procedure policy: the model of «due process» and the model of «crime control». Restorative justice was supported in the second half of the 20th century. The restorative approach to justice was a natural result of the trends in the criminal process – humanization, private and public interest, acceleration and simplification of criminal proceedings. The author sees the consistent consolidation of the basic ideas of restorative justice in international acts. The introduction of restorative technologies in the criminal proceedings of many foreign countries began with changes in juvenile justice. The author of the article formulates proposals for restoring the institution of exemption from criminal liability of minors and for applying mediation in terminating a criminal case in connection with the reconciliation of the parties (Article 25 of the Code of Criminal Procedure of the Russian Federation).
