Alternative sanctions have big prospects in the criminal law. It is possible to<br />

settle a conflict at an early stage with their help and to prevent psychological<br />

complications among conflicting parties.<br />

Alternative sanctions in criminal law, that are very topical both in Georgia as<br />

well as in European countries, were first applied in England. They were further<br />

spread to Anglo-Saxon and Continental Europe law familycountries.<br />

Application of alternative sanctions for the settlement of social conflicts is<br />

becoming wider in Europe and among them in Georgia, where the institution of<br />

mediation and diversion are more and more actively used in the juvenile justice<br />

field. In the future it would be desirable to apply mediation alsofor adults in the<br />

same active manner as it is done in case of diversion.<br />
