Summary/Abstract: The subject of the article is the issue of restorative justice. The essence and exemplary definitions were presented to answer the question of what restorative justice is. Selected instruments are characterized, including mediation, negotiations and restorative justice conferences, which strengthen the position of the victim and allow the perpetrator to mitigate the consequences of the committed crime. Some elements of mediation and negotiation are characterized, with particular emphasis on redress and reconciliation. In these solutions, the conflict is handed over to the entities most interested in resolving the case, and the positive effects of the corrective procedures are visible not only for the aggrieved party and the perpetrator but also for society.
