Problem-solving justice as a concept has often been understood in relation to the criminal justice system. The best-known application of problem-solving justice is problem-solving courts. However, in Finland and the other Nordic countries, no courts could be described as problem-solving courts. As a theoretical concept, problem-solving justice is not very well known or used in research or in legal textbooks. Indeed, the core concept of problem-solving justice is quite unfamiliar in Finnish and in Nordic legal culture. That being said, problem-solving approaches in a broader sense are currently quite important in the law and conflict resolution mechanisms of Nordic countries. In the field of conflict resolution, there are many simultaneous and alternative problem-solving methods and ways to deal with conflicts. There are also many mediation systems, and research in the field of conflict resolution is dynamic. In the Nordic countries, the problem-solving approach is included in the whole criminal and civil law systems and procedural law. The attention and desired changes in legal policy from this perspective are less attached to the structure of the court system than in common law countries, and the idea of special courts has been rejected. It is unlikely that there will be specific problem-solving courts in the future in Finland or the other Nordic countries. Instead, as a theoretical concept, problem solving justice is useful in the Nordic context when we review and evaluate the functioning of the court and conflict resolution system. It is appropriate to understand the “problem solving justice” concept more widely than it has often been understood. In its wider meaning, it is not limited to the criminal justice system or to special problem-solving courts. Instead we can use it in a broader sense to describe different conflict resolution systems and activities, the aim of which is based more on problem solving than on pure judicial decision making.

芬兰刑事和民事司法中的问题解决司法

解决问题司法作为一个概念，通常与刑事司法系统有关。解决问题的司法最著名的应用是解决问题的法院。但是，在芬兰和其他北欧国家，没有任何法院可以描述为解决问题的法院。作为一个理论概念，解决问题的正义在研究或法律教科书中不是很为人所知或使用。确实，解决问题的正义的核心概念在芬兰和北欧法律文化中还很陌生。话虽如此，在北欧国家的法律和解决冲突机制中，更广泛的解决问题的方法目前非常重要。在解决冲突的领域中，有许多同时的和替代的解决问题的方法和方法来处理冲突。还有很多调解系统，解决冲突领域的研究是动态的。在北欧国家，解决问题的方法被纳入整个刑法，民法体系和程序法中。从这个角度来看，对法律政策的关注和期望的改变与普通法国家相比，对法院体系结构的重视程度较低，特别法院的想法已被拒绝。将来在芬兰或其他北欧国家中不太可能会有专门的解决问题的法院。取而代之的是，作为一种理论概念，当我们审查和评估法院和冲突解决系统的功能时，在北欧背景下解决问题的正义是有用的。比通常人们更广泛地理解“解决正义的问题”概念是适当的。在更广泛的意义上，它不仅限于刑事司法系统或专门解决问题的法院。相反，我们可以从广义上使用它来描述不同的冲突解决系统和活动，其目的更多地是基于解决问题，而不是纯粹的司法决策。
