| Summary: | Punishing offenders and the type of punishment to be given has been one of the fundamental questions of criminal law. The concept of punishment has been associated with revenge in history; however, after the 1940s, it has been formed through a different understanding of the idea of rehabilitating offenders and reintegrating them into society. After the 1970s, with the concept of “reparation,” models emerged in which offenders analyze the consequences of the act committed within the scope of restorative justice and display a constructive attitude towards eliminating the damage. Therefore, the understanding of making offenders pay for, atone for, or compensate for the consequences of the act committed, the question of what the punishment given over time or the result of the criminal justice system reveals for offenders has also begun to be asked. At this point, the question asked within the scope of the study is how effective restorative justice models are in reconciling and reintegrating offenders with society. |
