During the last decades, Restorative Justice has been developed rapidly as both a theoretical and practical perspective. Victim-offender Mediation has been the starting point, the first and yet one of the most common forms of Restorative Justice in many countries world while. Restorative Justice has further been evolved around the concept of Mediation both in legislation and actual situation of many different Criminal Justice Systems. Many countries have introduced a structured and very good organized Restorative Justice legal frame, seeking to establish a more human, victim-oriented and Restorative Justice system. Restorative Justice provides the possibility for building an equitable and welfare society that integrates and includes. The involvement of members of local communities in the Restorative Justice processes and the related interplay between victim, offender and local community offer a substantial opportunity for both an actual development of the latter through the settlement of the conflict within the community context and the traditional criminal justice system which provides limited possibilities for setting up conflicts.
