Book Focus

Despite the clear connections between psychology, restorative justice, and peace across national and institutional contexts, there has been little direct engagement between the field of peace psychology and the growing theory, implementation, and research of restorative justice. This edited Volume will explicitly build a bridge between peace psychology and restorative justice. 

​

This volume presents an array of work situated at the interconnection of peace psychology and restorative justice. The volume is divided into two main section. The first focuses on the use of restorative justice and psychology for achieving peace in educational settings let that be a school (primary or secondary), college, university or a youth centre in the community. Educational settings can also refer to home schooling or adult and vocational centres. Some of the contributions are based on new empirical studies that were recently carried out in these settings. Others use secondary analysis and normative thinking to make some unique contributions. The second part looks at the justice and criminal justice field and the use of psychology and restorative justice with specific cases such as sexual violence, female prisoners and the impact that colonisation can have on communities. Both parts pay attention to the ways that restorative justice can feed into psychosocial dynamics related to peace spanning from within individuals to across borders and institutions.
