The author of the article conducted a comparative analysis of legislative approaches and practical mechanisms of compensation, focusing on the benefits of humanizing the criminal justice system. The article identifies the key elements that can be borrowed from the experience of the countries under consideration. The European experience shows that the integration of restorative justice can provide more accessible and transparent mechanisms for compensation for material and non-pecuniary damage. In addition, the author proposes specific steps for their adaptation and emphasizes the importance of relevant initiatives for the law of Kazakhstan. The conclusions emphasize the importance of integrating European experience to improve the national system of compensation for victims of crime in Kazakhstan
