The question appears whether these former and current types of compensation are historically interconnected. A historical analysis leads to the conclusion that compensation in the ancient times and the Middle Ages often was the only response to the crime, which was caused by weakness of public authority, whereas modern compensation originates from the concept of restorative justice and concern about crime victims.}, title={Mechanizmy kompensacyjne na tle historii rozwoju prawa karnego}, keywords={restorative justice, compensation, crime victim, criminal law, history of law}, }
