Can criminal cases be mediated? Court mediation in criminal cases is only for minor criminal cases, typically cases arising from civil disputes. So how does the criminal court mediate? The first requirement is that the offender admits to the crime. (2) The victim describes the impact of the crime on his body, life, work, and study. (3) People involved in the consequences of criminal behavior describe their feelings. (4) After fully discussing the crime and its consequences, the mediator may ask the victim about the compensation or compensation items he hopes to receive from such a settlement, thereby helping to determine the obligations that the offender should perform. (5) All participants can express their opinions on how to compensate the perpetrators and how to solve the case. (6) In the last step, after listening to the opinions of all participants, the mediator presides over the mediation participants to reach a settlement agreement and urges the participants to sign the settlement agreement. Supervisors dispatched by the People's Court or the judicial administrative department shall supervise the entire settlement process and the settlement agreement reached by the parties, and shall promptly point out illegal situations and recommend corrections. The law stipulates that in the following public prosecution cases stipulated in Article 288 of the Criminal Procedure Law, the two parties may reconcile if the criminal suspect or defendant sincerely repents, obtains the victim's understanding by compensating for losses, apologizing, etc., and the victim voluntarily reconciles. : (1) Due to civil disputes, suspected of crimes stipulated in Chapter 4 and Chapter 5 of the Criminal Law, the person may be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than three years; (2) Cases of criminal negligence other than dereliction of duty, which may be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than seven years. If a criminal suspect or defendant intentionally commits a crime within five years, the procedures stipulated in this chapter shall not apply. Article 289: If both parties reach a settlement, the public security organs, people's procuratorates, and people's courts shall listen to the opinions of the parties and other relevant persons, review the voluntariness and legality of the settlement, and preside over the preparation of a settlement agreement. Article 290: For cases in which a settlement agreement has been reached, the public security organs may make suggestions for leniency to the People's Procuratorate. The People's Procuratorate may make recommendations to the People's Court for leniency in punishment; if the crime is minor and does not require a penalty, it may decide not to prosecute. The people's court may impose a lighter punishment on the defendant in accordance with the law.
