Sumario:The 21st century has signified the consolidation of the accusatory system in most of western countries. This system not only involves a change of norm, but also a change in procedural culture. In this new culture, procedures allowing agreements and negotiations have been incorporated; for example, in some cases with the Public Prosecuter as it happens with plea-bargaining; in others, agreements between victim and victimizer, which allow working with people and favor reparation. In our current ultrapunitivism panorama, restorative justice and mediation —as instruments that favor dialogue— are presented as a return to people, a breath of fresh air.
