Abstract
Police uses the methods of restorative justice in their day-to-day activities in several countries around the world. The concept of police officers being able to involve certain offenders in the so-called family group conference method, when their guilt has been proven, was first introduced in New Zealand.44 Since then, similar legislation has been put in place in Australia, England, Wales and Northern Ireland, among other countries, allowing juvenile and adult offenders in certain offences to be diverted from traditional court proceedings.45The aim of the present study is to find out how the use of restorative methods is implemented in the police forces of the aforementioned Anglo-Saxon countries, and how the Hungarian police force could use these restorative practices.
