Keywords:
Crime, property damage, restitution, reparation, compensation, mediation, restorative justice, victims’ rightsAbstract
This scientific article examines alternative mechanisms to traditional judicial procedures for recovering property damage caused by criminal offenses, namely restitution, reparation, compensation, and mediation. The study explores the criminal-law and civil-law nature of property damage and highlights the role of alternative mechanisms in restoring victims’ rights. Within the framework of restorative justice theory, a comparative legal analysis is conducted to assess the effectiveness of these institutions. The article also reviews the experience of foreign jurisdictions, including European and Anglo-Saxon legal systems, identifying their advantages and limitations. The findings support the conclusion that a комплекс, differentiated application of alternative recovery methods contributes to more effective protection of victims’ rights and promotes restorative justice principles.
