Abstract

Za državu, osuda počinitelja označava zatvaranje priče o zločinu, međutim, isto se ne odnosi na one koji su direktno oštećeni kaznenim djelom. Žrtve se nerijetko bore da nastave dalje, a kako bi iscijelile, mnoge od njih trebaju i žele počinitelju dati do znanja koliko su povrijeđene, postaviti mu pitanja na koja ne mogu dobiti odgovore tijekom sudskog postupka te ga vidjeti kako iskreno preuzima odgovornost za počinjena djela. Susret licem u lice s počiniteljem u prisutnosti obučenog medijatora pruža tu mogućnost. Međutim, ideja implementacije metoda mirnog rješavanja sporova u kazneno pravo u Republici Hrvatskoj još uvijek nije objeručke prihvaćena. Skeptici ovog pristupa pritom navode strah od ugrožavanja prava sudionika te minimiziranja počiniteljevih djela kao glavne razloge za ustrajanjem u tradicionalnom sudskom kaznenom postupku. S druge strane, argumenti kojima im se pristaše restorativnih procesa suprotstavljaju uglavnom se odnose na potrebu za većim uključivanjem primarnih dionika u postupak, stavljanje naglaska na žrtvine potrebe i obnovu odnosa. Iz tog razloga, pitanje na koje se ovaj rad usredotočio bilo je: “Može li mirenje biti prihvatljiva alternativa tradicionalnom kaznenom pravosuđu i koje su njezine prednosti?”. S tim ciljem, proveden je pregled literature te se izveo zaključak da susret žrtve i počinitelja tijekom postupka medijacije može biti vrlo koristan i imati dubok utjecaj na obje strane. Međutim, budući da postoje i neki nedostaci ovog pristupa, rad ih navodi te daje preporuke o tome kako ih prevladati.

Abstract (english)

For the state, the conviction of the perpetrator marks the closure of the crime story; however, the same does not apply to those directly affected by the criminal act. Victims often struggle to move on, and, in order to heal, many of them need to let the perpetrator know how much they have been hurt, ask them various questions to which they cannot get answers during the court proceedings, and see them sincerely take responsibility for their actions. A face-to-face meeting with the perpetrator in the presence of a trained mediator provides opportunity to do so. However, the idea of implementing alternative dispute resolution methods in criminal law in the Republic of Croatia is still not widely accepted. Skeptics of this approach cite fear of compromising the rights of participants and minimizing the perpetrator's actions as the main reasons for persisting with the traditional criminal court proceeding. On the other hand, arguments put forward by supporters of restorative processes mostly relate to the need for greater involvement of primary stakeholders in the process, emphasizing the victim's needs and relationship restoration. For this reason, the question this paper focused on was: "Can mediation be an acceptable alternative to traditional criminal justice, and what are its advantages?" With that purpose, a literature review was conducted, leading to the conclusion that a meeting between the victim and the perpetrator during mediation can be very beneficial and have a profound impact on both sides. However, since there are also some downsides to this approach, the paper outlines them and provides recommendations on how to overcome them.
