Agreementualization of Justice in the Light of an Insurance-based Criminal Policy

Intervening societal institutions to regulate various non-criminal responses (civil, administrative, disciplinary…) is based upon a contractual-oriented approach from the participatory criminal policy. It could be said that contractualization of criminal law provides an appropriate conciliation measure (contractualized justice) to respond crime in such a manner. Adopting an effective strategy to bring into agreement between a judicial authority and the offender that reinforces non-criminal responses (esp. the civil ones) seems to be important. If such a strategy is achieved it could be expected a criminal policy towards both rehabilitation of the offenders and remedy and reparation for the victims. The present article is an introduction to the strategy in question designed by insurance contracts as “insurance-centered agreementualized justice”. It is defined as an efficient measure capable to control crime within the risk management model and to implement remedy and reparation within the victim assistance model of justice.
