The aim of the article is to present arguments in support of the practice of yoga among prison populations as a suitable therapeutic activity with rehabilitative potential that could widen the range of activities offered to prison inmates. The article focuses on the concept of trauma-sensitive yoga and its benefits for mental health and emotional regulation, rooted in a wealth of international research. The practice of prison yoga constitutes a restorative approach to offenders and is therefore considered to be a potential restorative trauma-informed approach to prison inmates.

The article summarizes findings of the research, which focused on family group conferences and an experience with their application in the framework of the youth justice system in the Czech Republic. One of the main objectives of the research was to evaluate the effectiveness of this restorative measure, based on criteria that are used in similar foreign criminological studies. The results suggest that the model, derived from New Zealand's "Whanau Conferences" is an effective way to meet the basic needs of crime victims where appropriate. Favorable results are also found with respect to subsequent reoffending. Family group conferences can therefore be described as a measure that has a potential to enrich Czech justice system with another interesting and effective alternative. At the same time, however, this is an extremely demanding measure, both from the point of view of the implementers as well as victims, perpetrators and their family members.

Restorative justice is an idea which centres around repairing the harms and compensation. Itis not focused on punishment. Its essence is to engage everyone affected by the crime, both thevictim, and the offender, as well as the local community in the process of solving the problemsarising out of the crime and repairing the damage and suffering which are resulting from it. Mostof all, restorative justice allows the victims to speak as well as it makes it possible for the offenderto take responsibility for their own actions voluntarily. It is based on determining the satisfactorycompensation jointly, through dialogue and negotiations. One of the forms of restorative justice ismediation between the victim and the offender who, with the assistance of an impartial and neutralmediator, may amicably resolve any disputes resulting from the crime.

PL

Sprawiedliwość naprawcza to idea, w centrum której stawiane jest naprawienie krzywdy i zadośćuczynienie. Nie skupia się na karze. Jej istotą jest włączenie wszystkich osób doświadczonych przestępstwem, zarówno osoby poszkodowanej, jak i sprawcy, a także społeczności lokalnej, w proces rozwiązania problemów powstałych w wyniku przestępstwa oraz naprawienia szkody i cierpienia będących jego skutkiem. Sprawiedliwość naprawcza przede wszystkim dopuszcza do głosu osoby pokrzywdzone oraz umożliwia sprawcy dobrowolne przyjęcie odpowiedzialności za własne działanie. Bazuje na wspólnym ustaleniu, na drodze dialogu i negocjacji, satysfakcjonującego zadośćuczynienia. Jedną z form sprawiedliwości naprawczej są mediacje pomiędzy pokrzywdzonym a sprawcą, którzy przy pomocy bezstronnego i neutralnego mediatora mogą w sposób ugodowy rozwiązać spory powstałe w wyniku przestępstwa.

The article focuses on the Peruvian native people´s customary law, also called an indigenous or an aboriginal law, which is an informal community or non-state judicial system. Indigenous law systems coexist with the state law system up today and they are recognized by the Constitution as a result of a multinational state organization. This legal situation is called the legal pluralism. The main topic of the article is the indigenous legal regulation in criminal matters and the traditional aboriginal conflict resolution practices which are based on the same principles as the alternative dispute resolution methods; more precisely in the field of criminal law, based on the same principles as restorative justice. There is an importance of a constructive dialog, a communication between the parties and a reconciliation of their relations, an importance of an active participation of the community, a priority of a victim reparation and restitution of the harmony and peace within the community.

The aim of this paper is to provide an analysis of the commitments procedure under the Polish competition law, including both legal and economic perspective. The outcome of this research is supposed to help in estimation whether novel negotiated instruments may be successfully employed in the field of antitrust enforcement. Hence, the paper first introduces the legal background of the commitments decisions, with focus on the specific features of the procedure. Being a tool of antitrust enforcement, commitment decisions should contribute to its goals. Therefore, the paper identifies such objectives drawing on the economic literature. It is in the light of these criteria that the decision practice of the Polish competition authority, still in the stage of development, is subsequently evaluated. This assessment reveals circumstances, under which the competition authority is particularly apt to engage into commitments procedure. It allows also for a conclusion that the application of this negotiated instrument is in principle commensurate with the exigencies following from economic theory.

Le but de cet article est de présenter une analyse de la procédure d’engagements en droit polonais de la concurrence, d’un point de vue juridique et économique. Le résultat de cette recherche permettra d’estimer l’efficacité de ces nouvelles procédures négociées dans le domaine du droit de la concurrence. Ainsi, l’article introduit le cadre juridique de la procédured’engagements en Pologne, en se focalisant sur les éléments spécifiques d’un tel mécanisme. Instrument de mise en œuvre du droit de la concurrence, la procédure d’engagements devrait contribuer à accomplir les buts de cette politique. Par conséquent, l’article essaie d’identifier de tels objectifs, en s’appuyant sur la littérature économique. La pratique décisionnelle de l’autorité de la concurrence polonaise est par la suite analysée à la lumière de ces critères, tout en gardant à l’esprit qu’elle n’en est qu’à ses prémisses. Cette analyse revèle les circonstances dans lesquelles l’autorité de la concurrence est particulièrement susceptible de mettre en œuvre une procédure d’engagements. Elle nous permet aussi de constater que l’application des procédures négociées en Pologne est, en principe, conforme aux exigences relevant de la théorie économique. Néanmoins, quelques suggestions visant à l’amélioration de la procédure d’engagements sont proposées, au cas où cela soit nécessaire.

The article analyses the Ukrainian model of active repentance in criminal justice through the lens of restorative justice. Restorative justice has incrementally attracted the increasing attention of scholars, legislators, and policymakers across the globe. Ukrainian criminal legislation, representing a combination of post-soviet and Western approaches to criminal justice, offers a remarkable experience. Unlike many other Western European countries, the Criminal Code of Ukraine creates a strong incentive for an offender to show remorse at every stage of his interaction with the criminal justice system: during the pre-trial inquiry, throughout the trial, while serving punishment and even after the punishment while subjected to certain limitations (criminal record). At every stage, active repentance of an offender triggers/might trigger the possibility of leniency. This leniency might result in a release from criminal liability, mitigation of the imposed punishment, release the convict on parole or early expungement of collateral consequences of a criminal conviction, etc. The Criminal Code of Ukraine does not provide a clear demarcation of active repentance. Instead, the law defines it through the inexhaustive list of behavior patterns in which it manifests itself. This approach enables judicial discretion and reduces the formality in the assessment of the acts of an offender. The main shortcoming of the Ukrainian approach to active repentance is that the reconciliation between the offender, the victim, and the wider community is being advanced poorly.

The orientation of law reform is agreed towards the application of restorative justice. Hence, an equivalence formulation between penal and fine sentences is urgently required. This normative research of legal studies proposed an equivalence formulation between prison and fine sentences. It resulted in prioritising fine sentences as a more preferred sentence while ensuring justice for the victim(s) and the community as represented by the state. This research presented a reform to amend the same weaknesses of the current penal or criminal law system in defining alternative sentences to prison sentences, which from an economic analysis perspective, was impossible to be chosen by the Judges. This research proposes an amendment that promotes financing the victim(s) and the community’s restorative effort. Besides that, it convinces the judges to pass a double-track sentence, both prison and fine sentences, because both can be valued and have equal consequences.

This article considers mediation in disciplinary matters against academic teachers, PhD students and students. The analysis was carried out against the background of the new Act of 20 July 2018 – Law on Higher Education and Science and the Regulation of the Minister of Science and Higher Education of September 25, 2018 on the detailed mode of conducting mediation, explanatory proceedings and disci- plinary proceedings in matters of disciplinary liability of academic teachers, and also the way of disciplinary penalties and their seizure. In the first part of the ar- ticle, through the confrontation of the function and the importance of disciplinary responsibility with the functions of mediation proceedings, the legitimacy of the adopted legislative solutions in this area was assessed – introduction of media- tion to disciplinary proceedings against academic teachers and the lack of such a solution in the case of disciplinary liability of students and doctoral students. Then, there is a detailed analysis of the provisions relating to the mediation pro- ceedings allowed for the display of noticed errors and defects in legal regulations.

The trend towards harsher punishment of offenders, usually termed the ‘new punitiveness’, is often explained as a response to deepening social and economic uncertainty. One important area that criminal policy research has long dealt with is public attitudes to punishment. Statements that the public want more severe punishments for those who break the law are often used to justify introducing measures to make the criminal justice system harsher. There are, however, different ways to measure public opinion on criminal sentencing. While general attitudinal questions indicate the public to be very punitive in outlook, when they have to evaluate specific cases the results are slightly more positive. Drawing on data from the European Social Survey, the article aims to describe the current level of punitiveness in the Czech Republic, as measured by both above-mentioned indicators, and to assess whether the respondents’ answers to such indicators are influenced by the same factors. Data show that Czechs tend to have relatively strong punitive attitudes. However, past studies have shown that people are less punitively inclined when they are judging a specific case. Moreover, regression analysis suggests that, rather than individual punitive sentiments, the general measure of punitiveness reflects cognitive and emotional reactions of a different nature (e.g. the quality of work of the court system), which means that the information on public attitudes it produces could be misleading.

This paper concerns the road Poland is on to introduce restorative justice procedures within its criminal justice system. The author describes the difficulties Poland has already overcome and is still facing. In addition, the paper shows the possible dangers we are not willing to see yet. The restorative justice procedures are introduced in the name of victims. They are aimed at observing the victims' rights and interests within the criminal justice system. Restorative justice is also to bring back the conflicts to their owners. The new developments are aimed at achieving this goal. The author discusses the invisible aspects which, if not diagnosed, named and prevented in time, can steal again the conflict from those most involved in it. It was once stolen by lawyers, judges and prosecutors who officially acted for the victims' good and support. Today, an identical process is possible with mediator taking the lawyers place.

Aim. The philosophy of alternative punishment is based on keeping the convicted person free, while imposing a punishment that will act preventively against committing another felony. The paper focuses on perceiving the importance of alternative punishment as part of restorative justice, and on presenting the results of the questionnaire survey which aimed to identify the public´s preferences in the context of various forms of alternative punishments as an option, instead of imprisonment. Attention is paid to three alternative punishments, specifically: community service, house arrest, and monetary sentence (fine). Methods. The questionnaire survey aimed to find out what forms of alternative punishment are, according to the respondents, a suitable alternative to incarceration. The survey sample comprised of Slovak individuals (N=1078) aged from 16 years and older, thereof 31.3% men (N=337) and 68.7% women (N=741). Results. Based on the analysis of the data collected from the 1078 respondents´ answers to the individual questions in the questionnaire, community service was identified as the most favorable alternative to imprisonment, whereas the least preferences the respondents gave to the option of monetary fines. Conclusion. The concept of alternative punishment is understood as a form of punishment that fulfills the purpose of a sentence, without deprivation of freedom, but still guaranteeing the fulfilment of a court-ordered unconditional retribution. Compared to traditional forms of punishment, alternative methods of resolving judicial cases do not enforce repression and prefer the individual approach to punishing the accused (convicted) persons with emphasis on corrective aspects of alternative punishment. The results of the survey showed that the respondents strongly prefer one form of alternative punishment, namely the community service.

The objective of the present study is to look at the philosophy of punishment in a new way, namely, through the prism of the restorative justice metaphors. Cognitive or conceptual metaphors – by employing categorization and referring abstract concepts and notions to concrete experience – allows for the various theories of justice to be viewed as modes of reasoning rather than as sets of legal propositions. The most universal metaphors of justice are: “justice as equality”, and the counterparts of George Lakoff ’s morality metaphors of “strict father” and “nurturant parent”, which partially correspond to, respectively, retributive and restorative justice concepts. Finally, the very process of mediation consists in the mediator consciously deploying so-called transformative metaphors that affect the reasoning of mediating parties, thereby influencing their vision of the conflict.

PL

Niniejsze opracowanie ma być szkicem, próbą nowego spojrzenia na filozofię karania przez pryzmat metafor sprawiedliwości naprawczej. Metafora kognitywna – poprzez mechanizm kategoryzacji i tworzenia odesłań między abstrakcyjnymi pojęciami i konkretnym doświadczeniem – pozwala spojrzeć na założenia różnych teorii sprawiedliwości jako na sposoby rozumowania, a nie tylko zbiory twierdzeń. Do najważniejszych metafor sprawiedliwości należy zaliczyć „sprawiedliwość jako równość”, a także odpowiedniki metafor moralności George’a Lakoffa: „surowego ojca” i „opiekuńczego rodzica”, które częściowo korespondują z koncepcjami odpowiednio – sprawiedliwości retrybutywnej i naprawczej. W końcu same mediacje są miejscem, w którym poprzez świadomie stosowane tzw. metafory transformatywne mediator oddziałuje na rozumowanie stron, wpływając na ich wizję konfliktu.

If sociologists are to be trusted, reflexivity, focused on itself and devoid of any religious or at least ideological framework, leads to the weakening of control mechanisms. Such changes are accompanied by the polarization of social classes and by the exclusion of the so-called underclass (which certainly includes a vast majority of criminals) from the civil society. In the doctrine of criminal law of “mature modernism”, within the framework of a liberal-democratic state, the civil society, together with the idea of communication, is supposed to constitute a central reference point in the research on criminal liability. Reflexivity brings up new problems. New citizen-oriented criminal law is being shaped, based upon mediation and communication (e.g. restorative justice, Expressive Theory). The civil society does not include the area of politics or political nature of things, where the problem is not the justification of the punishment but the effectiveness of mere spatial isolation. In this sense, it is difficult to talk about the merits of the emancipation of an individual from the limitations imposed by the society. The weakening of any external authority and of political duties owed to the state is replaced by self-control proper to reflexive modernity only in cases where the individuals have adequate intellectual and ethical predispositions. Disappearance of the influence of external rules and values together with the mechanism of exclusion from the civil society results in the weakening of self-control and in selfish care only about one’s own perspective (but also in repressive subordination by the state). Such a state of affairs creates favourable conditions for objectifying criminal liability, abandoning the concept of guilt, and for attempts to provide an ethical justification of penalty – which are concepts taken from the “world of citizens”.

The subject of considerations is an attempt to describe and assess the institution of cessation of prosecution, resulting from reaching an agreement, as reaction to crime. The effective consensus-driven approach ought to be aimed at combining court instruments and values with the axiological basis of agreement-based litigation (namely, principle of restorative justice), and also with legal measures which allow to mete out a due penal reaction or, frequently, the cessation of prosecution. In case of proceedings regarding misdemeanours, where there is a possibility of eliminating the consequences of the crime solely by compensatory actions within victim-perpetrator relation, the state ought to waive the execution of ius puniendi. What should constitute the limit of waiving the right to punish is a combination of circumstances such as: negligible degree of social harm, reaching a plea agreement that includes the manner of compensation, along with executing thereof. Then, the sufficient reaction to crime is redressing damage or compensation for the harm suffered and the prosecutor’s decision to cease prosecution. The stage of judicial proceeding does not have to and should not be merely a forum for reaching and executing court agreements. The described variant of cessation of the prosecution combines instrumental values, such as the promptness and cost-effectiveness of proceedings with non-instrumental ones, such as due process and implementation of restorative justice. Through only partial waiver of the trial subject implementation, cessation of the proceedings may constitute a compromise between legalistic values and those of judicial opportunism.
