Abstract;
Committing crime against children causes material losses or physical abuses and causes severe mental damages which cause defamation of children, insufficiency and children’s psychiatric disorders. The sentencing phase or determining punishment should accompany with material and moral restitution including emotional and mental restitution mechanisms which is not only one of the easiest and the most prominent species of protection of victims but also is prevention from re-victimization and reducing damages to a child and healing from emotional and mental damages. Restitution must be provided by the offender and if this is not possible on behalf of the offender, it must be provided by the government, insurance and special funds. Effects of mechanisms of restitution appear on the child victim directly and the more extensive, will prevent the extension of the harm caused by crime against the child. Hence, sentencing for offenders of crimes against children has a close relationship and worthy of study with restoration and restitution mechanisms.
