Developing restorative justice in Scotland

Mary Munro and Cyrus Tata of Strathclyde University Law School’s Centre for Law, Crime & Justice have secured funding for a programme of public events on “Developing Restorative Justice in Scotland”.

Restorative justice (RJ) is a process that brings together those harmed by crime and those responsible for the harm to safely discuss the harm and how it might be set right. International research suggests RJ can help victims recover from harm, encourage those involved in crime to desist from offending, and provide a more satisfying experience of the justice process.

The programme events is funded by Scottish Universities Insight Institute, beginning in March and ending in the autumn.

The programme is being led at Strathclyde in collaboration with Steve Kirkwood and Fiona Jamieson (Edinburgh University) To find out more about these events visit https://goo.gl/DAWg6O.
