One of the most important developments in crime and its control over recent decades has been the emergence of a dynamic campaign promoting restorative justice as an alternative to standard ways of responding to crime, i.e. to traditional prosecution, court and state punishment. Accompanying this has been a rapidly growing literature and practice on the subject, from New Zealand, North America, the UK, Western Europe, Russia, and Australasia. In Poland until recently very little was known and written on the subject of Restorative Justice. This paper focuses on process and strategy to make the restorative justice known and practice in Poland, including criminal justice process.
