Summary
Article of the German Criminal Code that allows the court to mitigate the sentence, or to dispense with it when the prescribed penalty is low, if the person responsible made an effort to reach an agreement with the victim (Täter-Opfer-Ausgleich) and made reparation for the offence in whole or in large part, or seriously sought to do so. It also covers the case where reparation required significant personal efforts or sacrifices and the victim was largely compensated. It is the substantive criminal-law basis of mediation between offender and victim in Germany. Useful for those comparing how the law recognizes reparation in sentencing.
