Book Description
This E-book was produced as part of the project “Glocal”. The data on which the book is based was collected over two years through the project, which aimed to create a report from the participating European countries about the climate change, environmental harm and practical solutions to be followed across Europe. In this comprehensive report, a comparative analysis has been conducted presenting findings from the 5 partner countries, which is being followed by chapters in partners’ native languages. Following this, an evaluation of the overall project and its activities of implementation is being presented. Policy recommendations are one of the most important part of the report to be shared and implemented in the future. Coordinated by the Restorative Justice for All International Institute and delivered in partnership with Carmen Sylva Art College, İ.ova Youth Art Culture Organisation, Lycée Beauséjour and Eruditus Language School. Co-funded by Erasmus+ and coordinated by Dr. Theo Gavrielides

Book Description
This Training Handbook was produced as part of the Erasmus+ funded project “Glocal”. The data on which the book is based was collected over two years through the GLOCAL project, which aimed to create a training package about the climate change and to gather 10 simple and practical solutions to be followed by each of us as teachers allowing others from across Europe to replicate. No ‘big words’ or complex solutions. We simply intend to use our (students’ and teachers’ alike) common efforts, experience, knowledge and willingness to find out the most efficient 10 ways to fig global warming and try to stop the damage we produce to our own planet. The ebook was co-funded by Erasmus+ and the project was coordinated by Dr. Theo Gavrielides.

Book Description
Despite widespread acknowledgment about the viability of alternative behavioral interventions in our urban high schools across the nation, there is scarcity in research studies that specifically examine the impact of restorative justice practices on school climate. This mixed method study used a case study research design to examine the impact on school climate of the implementation of a restorative justice (RJ) practice in an urban high school in the State of California. Data were collected using interviews, survey, district documents and school site archival documents. Triangulation of data from these sources was used to validate the research findings. The high school chosen, California City High School (CCHS), a pseudonym, was a public high school located in a southeastern neighborhood of a large metropolitan city in southern California. District documents indicated that the school was in its third year of RJ implementation having completed the training necessary to facilitate the shift from traditional approaches of behavior management to a RJ approach, making this school a good fit for the study. This study highlighted the use of restorative circles and community building, and positive behavior support as the most pragmatic and effective RJ practices in the CCHS school environment. Students who have undergone restorative circles, and community building mediations, are perceived by teachers and administrator as exhibiting improved behavioral decision-making, and lower levels of recidivism when compared to similar age students before implementation of restorative circles. The school district's disciplinary data of 2007 through 2014 showed a marked decline in both instructional days lost to suspension and suspension rate following the implementation of restorative justice practices. Problems encountered during implementation at this school site involved inadequate and inconsistent training methodologies, time constraints for implementation, metrics for rating implementation success, and staff's attitude to change. This study would have benefited from the inclusion of data from additional schools and from parent and student interviews. The inclusion of additional schools would have enabled the analysis of staff perceptions at the school level. Hence, future studies should employ data from a larger number of schools to cross-validate the current findings. Some limitations should be noted when drawing conclusions from this research. The study examined staff and teacher survey and discipline referrals during three years of RJ implementation at CCHS. However, I did not have outsider observers to verify quality of RJ implementation, which many consider the "gold standard" for measuring fidelity of implementation. Also given CCHS has only been implementing its RJ program across a 3-year period, this study may not have captured the full effect of RJ implementation on school climate. Similar to most of the school climate research, this study was neither longitudinal nor experimental. This is a problem for the research because causal inferences are not possible. Future studies examining causal relationships with interventions or a longitudinal design are clearly warranted. A longitudinal design would also account for the fact that school climate perception is not static. It potentially changes and evolves during different points in the school year (e.g., proximity to holiday periods or examination periods) and corresponding with different events at the school (e.g., administrative changes or the introduction of a new initiative). Hence, longitudinal designs should be adopted in future research, as they would account for the impermanency of school climate perception.

Book Description
This ground-breaking collection dares to take the next step in the advancement of an autonomous, inter-disciplinary restorative justice field of study. It brings together criminology, social psychology, legal theory, neuroscience, affect-script psychology, sociology, forensic mental health, political sciences, psychology and positive psychology to articulate for the first time a psychological concept of restorative justice. To this end, the book studies the power structures of the restorative justice movement, the very psychology, motivations and emotions of the practitioners who implement it as well as the drivers of its theoreticians and researchers. Furthermore, it examines the strengths and weakness of our own societies and the communities that are called to participate as parties in restorative justice. Their own biases, hunger for power and control, fears and hopes are investigated. The psychology and dynamics between those it aims to reach as well as those who are funding it, including policy makers and politicians, are looked into. All these questions lead to creating an understanding of the psychology of restorative justice. The book is essential reading for academics, researchers, policymakers, practitioners and campaigners.

Book Description
Braithwaite's argument against punitive justice systems and for restorative justice systems establishes that there are good theoretical and empirical grounds for anticipating that well designed restorative justice processes will restore victims, offenders, and communities better than existing criminal justice practices. Counterintuitively, he also shows that a restorative justice system may deter, incapacitate, and rehabilitate more effectively than a punitive system. This is particularly true when the restorative justice system is embedded in a responsive regulatory framework that opts for deterrence only after restoration repeatedly fails, and incapacitation only after escalated deterrence fails. Braithwaite's empirical research demonstrates that active deterrence under the dynamic regulatory pyramid that is a hallmark of the restorative justice system he supports, is far more effective than the passive deterrence that is notable in the stricter "sentencing grid" of current criminal justice systems.
