About RJ4ALL PUBLICATIONS
RJ4All Publications was established by Dr. Theo Gavrielides in 2013 to act as the independent, publishing arm of the Restorative Justice for All (RJ4All) International Institute. RJ4All is a non-profit international NGO with a mission to balance power in society.
RJ4All Publications supports international research and policy in social and political sciences by publishing eBooks and its two peer-reviewed journals, Internet Journal of Restorative Justice (IJRJ®) & the Youth Voice Journal (YVJ™). We specialize in publication of cutting-edge research, including but not limited to restorative justice, youth issues, criminal justice, equality, and human rights.
Internet Journal of Restorative Justice (IJRJ®)
The Internet Journal of Restorative Justice is an international peer-reviewed journal on restorative justice. The journal strives to publish research articles according to the highest standards from various areas of expertise including, but not limited, to restorative practices in schools, neighborhoods, organisations and businesses, family matters and (youth) care, the criminal and juvenile justice systems, prisons and the community. We are also interested in pushing the normative and philosophical boundaries of restorative justice. The IJRJ® is committed to nurturing fresh thinking and innovation. Ultimately, we want to affect positive change and improve the experience and image of justice.

We aim to advance public and academic knowledge and encourage critical thinking and the scrutiny of practices and policies that impact youth. The (YVJ™) encourages young researchers, and is particularly interested in publishing papers, reviews, as well as commentaries exploring the youth-led / user-led method of evidence gathering.
