In today’s data-driven world, incorporating data insights into restorative justice enhances effectiveness and fairness. This publication explores data’s impact on restorative justice initiatives and advocates for an evidence-based approach.
Restorative justice emphasises collaborative dialogue to mend harm. However, ensuring its effectiveness requires informed decisions based on data analysis. Data can uncover trends, assess outcomes, guide participant selection, and optimise resource allocation, tailoring services to community needs.
The concept of restorative practice has gained significant traction in various spheres in recent years. From criminal justice to educational settings, and even within health and workplace environments, restorative approaches have shown immense potential in facilitating healing, understanding, and positive change. The RJC’s membership magazine, Resolution, serves as a vital platform that delves into key debates and showcases innovative practices in the field of restorative justice.
