The necessity of accelerating the pace of development of social relations that require legal influence, the search by the State within the framework of its realization of the human rights and legal renewal function of new forms and methods of realization of state power and the fulfillment by the State of its duties through interaction with civil society. It is about strengthening the mutual responsibility of all subjects of social relations and the possibility of the state delegating certain powers to such institutions, in particular, the possibility of resolving the conflict in the field of law in an extrajudicial way - through various forms of restorative justice. Appearing within the framework of criminal legal relations, as a form of extrajudicial resolution of the dispute and resolution of the conflict, the category of "restorative justice" has now become universal, since it can be applied within different types of procedural legal relations: civil, criminal, labor, administrative, family, marriage, economic.
