[ES] El presente trabajo se basa en un an?lisis de la Mediaci?n Penal, la principal herramienta de la Justicia Restaurativa. Es necesario generar una base te?rica de ambos conceptos para contextualizar este m?todo de resoluci?n de conflictos alternativo al proceso penal com?n. Concretamente hablaremos de la mediaci?n Penal en adultos, la cual carece de regulaci?n en Espa?a, que ha hecho caso omiso a la Directiva Europea que as? lo impone. Conoceremos sus modalidades, las fases que lo compone, los principios reguladores de la citada instituci?n, su ?mbito de aplicaci?n, as? como las ventajas e inconvenientes que presentan. Nos detendremos a analizar las partes que intervienen en el proceso de mediaci?n, destacando la importancia que tiene el resarcimiento de la v?ctima y lo positivo que le resulta participar de manera activa en conseguirlo. As? como el estatuto jur?dico del mediador. Finalmente nos acercaremos a las Comunidades Aut?nomas Espa?olas que han usado la mediaci?n penal para resolver hechos constitutivos de delitos penales.

[EN] The present work is based on an analysis of the Criminal Mediation, the main tool of Restorative Justice. It is necessary to generate a theoretical basis of both concepts to contextualize this alternative conflict resolution method to the common criminal process. Specifically we will talk about criminal mediation in adults, which lacks regulation in Spain, which has ignored the European Directive that imposes this. We will know its modalities, the phases that compose it, the regulatory principles of that institution, its scope of application, as well as the advantages and disadvantages that they present. We will stop to analyze the parties involved in the mediation process, highlighting the importance of the victim's compensation and how positive it is to participate actively in achieving it. As well as the legal status of the mediator. Finally we will approach the Spanish Autonomous Communities that have used criminal mediation to resolve acts constituting criminal offenses.
