Objectives

The Committee will bring together researchers working on restorative justice, create an international and intergenerational network, and set together future research agendas and collaborations. More specifically, the EFRJ Research Committee will:

• support and encourage research on restorative justice,
• assist researchers in the field,
• develop strategies to better disseminate research outcomes,
• encourage the representation of research in other criminological or related events, conferences, publications,
• identify gaps in existing research and can suggest topics to be explored,
• share information on grant opportunities for researchers among EFRJ members and beyond,
• initiate project proposals,
• assist the EFRJ Secretariat to translate the existing research knowledge accumulated in the past years at the EFRJ to practice and policy.
