Sample article

The IJRJ® is a double-blind, peer reviewed international journal that publishes articles of the highest standard from various areas of expertise including, but not limited, to restorative practices in schools, neighbourhoods, 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 IIJRJ® is committed to nurturing fresh thinking and innovation. Ultimately, we want to affect positive change and improve the experience and image of justice.
 
The IJRJ® is published by RJ4All Publications, the publishing arm of the Restorative Justice for All International Institute. The Editor-in-Chief is Professor Dr. Theo Gavrielides.  The Journal is guided and scrutinised by its Editorial Board and the International Advisory Board. All submissions are first reviewed by the Editor-in-Chief, and if judged suitable for this publication, they are then blind-reviewed anonymously and separately by at least two external, expert reviewers.
 
The Journal is unfunded and accessed by subscription or by purchasing its papers and issues from our e-bookstore. We are not interested in making any kind of profit. We exist to advance public and academic knowledge, and encourage critical thinking and the scrutiny of practices and policies that impact on justice and criminal justice. The IJRJ® is also available online via EBSCO and Kindle store.
