Abstract
Objective:The Research goal is to analyze of legislator’s restorative approach intheSpecial Police for Children &Adolescents(SPCA)Bill from perspective of Restorative Justice(RJ)policies,aiming to derive insights that enhance the effectiveness of restorative processes during thebill’s approval inthe Islamic Parliament of IRI.Method:The research employs descriptive-analytical methodology,case studying theSPCA Bill and comparing it with RJ policies implemented by leading nations.This approach aims to identify themost prominent restorative policies implemented bythebill.Results:This study finds that ambiguity in applying multiple restorative methods aims to specialization mediation for supporting youth.Given the changing role of police inthe adaptive model from facilitator to referrer,thebill's assignment of major agency to police in facilitating restorative processes demonstrates the legislator's thoughtful initiative,although it highlights thelack of mechanisms to respond to negative outcomes in police-led restorative processes.Referral challenges include inconsistent acceptance of consent by the parties,lack of oversight of judicial referrals,and potential issues during preliminary investigations.Ultimately,the pioneering distinctions of Iran's restorative policymaking are highlighted while taking future challenges into account.Conclusions:The results indicate that to effectively implement RJ,thebill requires fundamental revisions,including clear criteria for process selection,specialized training for facilitators and referring authorities, strengthening restorative culture in criminal organizations,unifying the legislator’s approach to party consent in referrals,ensuring oversight of referral system,and adopting appropriate mechanisms for violent crimes.
