RECOVERY BETWEEN GUILTY AND VICTIM
The Law of Recovery is a process of common mediation in which attention is paid to the acceptance of responsibility when a victim is harmed, in which this person is the center of the whole. In this process, we talk about the impact of the damage that is affected in the victim. Also to assume responsibility between the guilty and the victim and those involved in the situation.
Criminal Mediation consists of several forms of mediation between victim and the guilty party with a goal to solve the conflict that arises. One can think, among other conflicts, of fights for a long time between neighbors who arrive at physical abuse. It is addressed with the punishable fact, but also the problem that arises in which the conflict between neighbors can be solved through this mediation.
