Abstract
This chapter offers an in-depth overview of restorative justice, highlighting it as a differentiated and innovative response, especially from the victim's perspective. By providing a consistent theoretical basis on the foundations, values, and principles of the restorative approach, it attests to the intrinsic value of that dimension. The focus on the direct influence on victims, notably at the level of reparation, is evidenced by various studies centered on the impact of this model of reaction to crime. The recognition of its benefits is reflected in the global dissemination of restorative practices throughout the world, with a few international experiences in this field being identified. By providing a significant contribution to the global understanding of restorative justice, this chapter emerges as a must-read for researchers, a valuable source of guidance for policymakers and an enlightening guide for students and interested readers.
