Summary

An approach to restorative justice from Costa Rican juvenile criminal legislation. The author defines the concept, points out the myths and concerns that could hinder its adoption in the country's culture and questions the model of detention centres. She examines the judicial mechanisms that deinstitutionalize, such as alternatives to trial and alternative sanctions, and indicates who can take part in a restorative programme. Useful for those working in juvenile criminal justice, for judicial teams and for teachers who want to learn about the background of restorative justice in Costa Rica before its 2018 law.
