Abstract

In recent times, criminal mediation has become protagonist of man y of the doctrinal debates on the need to modernize the Spanish criminal justice system.However, the truth is that the current process configuration presents many difficulties for the incorporation of penal mediation. This is because, among other issues, the structure of the process maintains a nineteenth-century concept, according to the debate-opportunity rule of law, etc.It is therefore essential the study of the Organic Law 5/2000 of January 12, Organic Law of Criminal Responsibility of Minors. Due to its commitment to incorporate some principles close to the mediation, some of the traditional objections employed to deny the widespread incorporation of mediation in adult criminal proceedings are disputed by the Law.
