If you are a restorative justice practitioner, then this is your chance to have your work published in the high profile book Rights & Restoration Within Youth Justice
The book is edited by Dr. Theo Gavrielides and published by de Sitter Publication.
We are looking for case studies illustrating restorative justice in practice. We are particularly interested in powerful examples that show the breadth of the restorative justice practice including direct and indirect mediation, family group conferencing, healing and sentencing circles, panels and community boards. Cases with young people will be particularly welcome.
Once approved by the Editor, the cases will be published in Rights and Restoration within Youth Justice This is an edited, peer-reviewed Volume of original papers written by leading scholars in the fields of restorative justice, human rights, youth justice and policy and criminal justice. The project is carried out under the auspices of Independent Academic Research Studies (IARS), the ICCCR at Open University and the CCJRD at Mount Royal University.
This is a unique opportunity for restorative justice practitioners to communicate their work to academia and policy internationally. Much has been written about the theory of restorative justice but only rarely its practices are illustrated and explained through real life examples.
Submission Guidelines
Case studies will need to:
- be between 300 - 500 words
- explain clearly the conflict that had occurred, its location and date
- explain at which stage the practice took place, when and how it was initiated, how long it took and if possible how much it cost
- include a victim and an offender
- respect the principle of confidentiality and research ethics by not revealing the identity of those involved
- illustrate the outcome of the restorative process preferably for all parties: victims, offenders and community.
Case studies will be credited to the practitioner. Submissions will also enter a competition for winning a $300 voucher for de Sitter Publications. Submissions and questions should be send to Dr. Theo Gavrielides T.Gavrielides@iars.org.uk
