Developments in restorative justice models are being implemented through both technological integration and procedural application in Latin America.

In Brazil, the Restaura System, a tool developed by the Court of Justice of Mato Grosso, is being integrated into the National Council of Justice’s national restorative justice strategy. The platform centralizes data on conflict resolution and Peace Construction Circles, utilizing Business Intelligence to provide detailed reports by region and conflict type.

In Mexico, restorative justice models are being used to facilitate victim reparation and offender accountability. The process, which applies to non-intentional crimes such as vehicle damage or robberies without violence, operates on principles of confidentiality and neutrality. While participation does not guarantee release from incarceration, it can influence legal sentencing benefits and aims to reduce recidivism by encouraging offenders to reflect on their actions.
