Crimes, vítimas e policiais civis : a experiência do núcleo mediar da 3ª Delegacia Regional de Venda Nova

Abstract

The crisis that Brazil faces in its adopted criminal-legal system is relatively well-known by its population. With a worn model, criticism is not lacking in the current system. The Brazilian criminal justice system provides a system of criminal prosecution that typifies unlawful conduct as a crime, raising and maintaining a large number of prisoners, which does not reduce violence or provide the desired and expected sense of security. It is in this context that we are going to discuss a new system of Justice, Restorative Justice. It presents its differential and importance, because unlike traditional justice, based on the retribution and punishment of the victim, Restorative Justice promotes dialogue between the parties affected by the conflict. Therefore, this work aims to make a brief analysis of a new way of dealing with victims, with emphasis on the Project Mediar within the scope of the civil police of Minas Gerais, which for 10 years has been using mediation as an instrument of Restorative Justice.
