Restorative justice in cases of sexual assault

V magistrski nalogi se ukvarjam z vprašanjem primernosti vključitve postopkov restorativne pravičnosti pri obravnavanju primerov spolnega nasilja. Na začetku naloge sem opredelila pojem restorativne pravičnosti in predstavila različne opredelitve, načine delovanja postopkov restorativne pravičnosti ter modele programov, ki se v okviru restorativne pravičnosti uporabljajo v praksi. V nadaljevanju sledi predstavitev pomanjkljivosti obstoječega kazenskega sistema ter kako sam sistem vpliva na žrtve spolnega nasilja, ki sodelujejo v kazenskih postopkih, in kakšne so izkušnje žrtev na podlagi analiz, ki so bile v zvezi s tem opravljene. V petem poglavju so podrobneje opisani različni programi restorativne pravičnosti v praksi v tujini in izsledki nekaterih empiričnih študij, ki so bile narejene v zvezi z njihovo učinkovitostjo. V zaključku se opredelim do tega, ali se mi zdi obravnava spolnega nasilja v postopkih restorativne pravičnosti primerna ali pa glede tega obstajajo utemeljeni zadržki, ki bi obravnavo izključevali.The thesis focuses on the issue of adopting restorative justice programmes as another approach to addressing sexual assault. In the introduction chapter, the restorative justice concept and various definitions are presented along with types of processes in restorative justice programmes and various programmes used in practice. A presentation of limitations in the current criminal justice system is provided in the next chapter which analyses how the criminal justice system and its proceedings affect victims of sexual assault. The fifth chapter provides a detailed presentation of various restorative justice programmes used in practice abroad and results obtained from empirical reports measuring their efficiency. In the conclusion, the author\u27s view on the appropriateness of using the restorative justice as a method to address sexual violence is presented
