Welcome!

Restorative Justice: Strategies for Change (RJS4C) aims to support the development of restorative justice across Europe. In ten countries, a core group of four persons – the ‘Core Members’ – are collaborating with local policymakers, practitioners, researchers, activists and other interested parties – the ‘Stakeholder Group’ – to co-create national strategies to guide their work.

This website hosts the work of the Irish partners. Focusing on the criminal justice system, we collected case studies illustrating the use of restorative justice and restorative practices, and conducted a mapping exercise on the training and use of restorative justice. We also published other resources to help increase knowledge of restorative justice and practices in Ireland, and support the development of services, policies and practices in this area. 

This research and website are funded by the Department of Justice.
