Public interests in criminal proceedings can be served not only through the perpetrator’s conviction, but also through alternative measures for resolving criminal conflicts. Their expediency is due, inter alia, to the fact that they are aimed at minimizing criminal repression in situations when society is not interested in the conviction and punishment of the offender who made amends for the damage caused. Such measures significantly rationalize the procedural resources used in this case, expedite criminal proceedings, and prevent the perpetrator’s stigmatization. Alternative methods can be used due to a set of conditions related to the committed act: offender’s personality and behavior, procedural expediency and organization of criminal prosecution, rationalization, acceleration, and consent of the parties and society.
