The paper summarizes the author’s intervention in the debate on Tamar Pitch’s work, Il malinteso della vittima, and explores the issue of criminal mediation and restorative justice. The discussion focuses on the author’s criticism of restorative justice, which represents a critical, anti-securitarian approach. Among the criticisms addressed, the author focuses on the definition of “victim” in the criminal context, pointing out the risk of legitimizing the “criminal law of the enemy”. Possible objections regarding the handling of restorative justice in cases of domestic and sexual violence are also analyzed. Instead, the author emphasizes the potential of restorative justice in fostering reeducation and reducing recidivism, but raises doubts about its effective implementation, examining practical challenges and critical issues in the Italian context. The conclusion reflects on the delicate balance between abolitionism and retributionism in restorative justice, highlighting the need for ongoing analysis based on evidence and experience.

Abstract

The paper summarizes the author’s intervention in the debate on Tamar Pitch’s work, Il malinteso della vittima, and explores the issue of criminal mediation and restorative justice. The discussion focuses on the author’s criticism of restorative justice, which represents a critical, anti-securitarian approach. Among the criticisms addressed, the author focuses on the definition of “victim” in the criminal context, pointing out the risk of legitimizing the “criminal law of the enemy”. Possible objections regarding the handling of restorative justice in cases of domestic and sexual violence are also analyzed. Instead, the author emphasizes the potential of restorative justice in fostering reeducation and reducing recidivism, but raises doubts about its effective implementation, examining practical challenges and critical issues in the Italian context. The conclusion reflects on the delicate balance between abolitionism and retributionism in restorative justice, highlighting the need for ongoing analysis based on evidence and experience.
