Restorative Justice from the Perspective of Criminal Justice Professionals

Restorativna pravda pokret je aktualan od 70-ih godina prošlog stoljeća u kaznenopravnom sustavu u svijetu, no u Hrvatskoj je relativna novina i u primjeni je od 2003. godine. Izvansudska nagodba prvi je model restorativne pravde implementiran u hrvatsko zakonodavstvo te se pokazao uspješnim u svom provođenju. Unatoč tome, daljnja implementacija i održivost restorativne pravde je otežana, između ostalog, stavovima stručnjaka u sustavu pravosuđa. Glavni cilj ovog istraživanja je istražiti percepciju restorativne pravde iz perspektive državnih odvjetnika i njihovih zamjenika kako bi se postavio istraživački temelj za povećanje spremnosti za održivost izvansudske nagodbe, ali i eventualnu implementaciju novih mjera restorativne pravde u pravosudni sustav. Istraživanje se provelo nad uzorkom državnih odvjetnika putem online upitnika. Dobiveni rezultati su uglavnom potvrdili rezultate stranih istraživanja o stavovima prema restorativnoj pravdi. Stručnjaci se načelno slažu s restorativnim načelima, ali nisu dovoljno informirani o svim aspektima i mogućnostima restorativne pravdeRestorative justice is a movement current in criminal justice system since the 70s, but in Croatia the movement is relatively new and it has been in use since 2003. Out-of-court settlement for juvenile offenders is the first implemented model of restorative justice in croatian legislation and it is proven to be successful in its outcomes.

The research was carried out over state attorneys via online questionnaire. The results manly confirmed the results of foreign research on attitudes towards restorative justice.
