Challenges of restorative litigation of children in conflict with the law in the Iranian legal system

Despite some extremist criticisms of criminological approaches, social reaction to the formal criminal justice system, adverse effects of inclusion in the judicial process, lengthy and costly, adverse effects of labeling early deviations, lack of specialization Structural and lack of real repair of injuries to victims is one of the most prominent undeniable features of the traditional criminal justice process. Due to the prominence of the above-mentioned objections, the implementation of court programs to protect the interests of children and adolescents in conflict with the law has been created with the aim of correcting and rehabilitating them instead of punishing them. Therefore, in this article, we are looking for the pathology of restorative medicine for children in conflict with the law in relation to the current situation of the country's legal system.

The present study is a descriptive and analytical study in the form of a library-documentary.

Failure to pay attention to juvenile justice conferences and public and family meetings, optional criminal mediation, lack of the right to a lawyer in juvenile remedial proceedings, rejection of criminal mediation in crime detection and execution, referral Mediation in minor offenses and imposing time limits on referral to mediation are among the challenges of implementing remedial programs in juvenile justice. These challenges are incompatible, foundations and goals of restorative justice for children and adolescents and provide the basis for juveniles and adolescents who oppose the law with the process of criminal justice, recidivism and criminal character.
