Abstract
Restorative justice is a movement aimed at combating the aftermath of crime by reforming and rebuilding relations between the three main parties, namely, delinquent, victimized, and community. The analysis of the relationship between the theory of restorative justice and the principles of rehabilitation of the offender reveals the differences and differences between the two systems. Although it is claimed that restorative justice is criminal and focuses on improving the situation of the perpetrators, some studies indicate the effect of restorative justice on the well-being of offenders and the reduction of crime in them. In this study, it has been attempted to show that regenerative models and restorative justice, although similar, have two distinct normative frameworks with different functional areas and their attempt to combine them is wrong. Some studies have shown that offenders usually have satisfactory experiences with the implementation of restorative justice practices, and there are, of course, negative experiences that have been referred to. The purpose of this article is to rehabilitate delinquents and the experiences of criminals from restorative justice. Using the library method, information has been gathered. In this paper, the researcher seeks to answer these questions. Is there any meaningful insight into the methods of restorative justice and rehabilitation, how and to what extent restorative justice has succeeded in meeting the needs of the victim, and the principles and values ​​of restorative justice. What is.
