Chile is enacting significant justice system reforms that seem to be opening doors for more restorative elements . Problems with crime and lack of trust in the criminal justice system provoked both the government and civil society to seek new options and creative solutions when seeking justice. These include more emphasis on victimxe2x80x99s issues, the creation of community mechanisms for dealing with conflict, and the introduction of mediation projects into schools.
