The new Restorative Justice: Strategies for Change website was launched in January 2021.
One of the aims of Restorative Justice: Strategies for Change is to share successful strategies used in different countries to develop law, regulation, policy, practice, and public awareness around restorative justice.
The website contains a range of new resources, including the initial findings of a mapping exercise which captures the levels of training in, and delivery of, restorative justice in criminal justice in Ireland. This research was funded by the Department of Justice.
It also contains information on the profiles of criminal justice services and agencies that deliver restorative justice or use restorative approaches in their work, and of bodies and networks that support restorative practitioners.
A number of case studies are also available, which illustrate the use of restorative justice and restorative practices in the Irish justice system. Lastly, all news relevant to restorative practices in Ireland can also be found on the website.
