In Italy, restorative justice has been gaining attention as a complement to the traditional punitive justice system.In recent years, Italy has implemented various restorative justice practices, especially in juvenile justice and cases involving minor offenses. The aim is to promote healing, accountability, and reconciliation, rather than just focusing on punishment. For instance, some programs facilitate meetings between victims and offenders, where both parties can express their feelings, understand each other's perspectives, and work towards a mutually agreed upon resolution. This process can help victims find closure and empower offenders to take responsibility for their actions and make amends. Italian law also recognizes the importance of mediation and conciliation, which are considered valuable tools in the restorative justice process. These practices are increasingly integrated into the criminal justice system, highlighting the shift towards a more humane and rehabilitative approach to justice. However, challenges remain, including the need for broader awareness, training for professionals, and the development of a consistent legal framework to support restorative practices across the country. Overall, the growing interest in restorative justice in Italy reflects a broader trend towards seeking more holistic and community-oriented solutions to crime, emphasizing healing and the restoration of relationships over mere retribution.

Based on current discussions about Pacific law enforcement agencies and their capacity to respond to current and emerging threats, I think it's timely to reshare this open access publication. Colleagues, do get in touch if you would like me to speak on the subject.
