Welcome!

Restorative Justice: Strategies for Change (RJS4C) supports the development of restorative justice in Europe by facilitating the co-creation of national strategies. This website hosts the Irish arm of the project, including case studies, service profiles, research and other resources.

The Department of Justice funded the initial mapping exercise and case study collection in 2021, and funded the website itself from 2021-2023.
