Restorative approach in the implementation of criminal policy in regard to minors

In chapter 50 of The Russian Federation Code of Criminal Procedure the order of procedures on juvenile justice is substantially regulated with account for international legal standards. However, a topical aim is to create child-friendly justice to protect his/her rights and freedoms, to consider his/her personalities, to make stimulation methods, applied by the state towards the under-aged, more adequate to the action and personality of a teenager, and to avoid new delinquencies. International legal acts stipulate a greater number of legal mechanisms directed to amicable dispute resolution with the under-aged (suspected or accused), than the Russian legislation. The author analyzed these mechanisms and concluded that many of them may be borrowed to elaborate the mechanism of restorative justice for the under-aged in Russia.
