Özet

Penal mediation today, which is stemmed from common law countries, is one of the global events which inevitably affects most of the law systems including civil law. It is important to practice mediation justly since it may incur some risks particularly for due process rights. The main point to be considered is that the efforts which are being made for healing and strengthening the rights of victims should not be transformed into the violation of the accused’s rights acquired after gruelling fights in the past. The balance between the interests of both victim and accused (and also society) should be provided. The Turkish criminal justice system which is mainly based on the civil law system and in which the judicial actors do not know so much about restorative justice & alternative dispute resolution concepts, should include basic safeguards particularly about confidentiality of process, impartiality of the mediator and juvenile justice. Otherwise the mediation may cause undesirable results contrary to its restorative goals.
