The International Journal of Restorative Justice (IJRJ), the official publication of the Centre for the Study of Crime, Restorative Justice, and Community Safety, is seeking submissions of original scholarship pertaining to restorative justice research. Our approach is multi-disciplinary, and research is welcomed from a broad array of methodological traditions, including quantitative, qualitative, historical, and comparative methods. This journal is academically oriented and fully peer-reviewed. As the journal provides a platform for the discussion and exchange of ideas, all submissions selected for publication are available from www.crjcs.org as pdf downloads.

» Please submit authorship (abstracts and/or entire articles which include an abstract of approximately 500 words) to john@crjcs.org.
All submissions must follow the APA Style guide.
