- [Restorative Justice](https://www.theogavrielides.org/product/restorative-justice/) - The legitimacy and performance of the traditional criminal justice system is the subject of intense scrutiny as the world economic crisis continues to put pressure on governments to cut the costs of the criminal justice system. This volume brings together the leading work on restorative justice to achieve two objectives: to construct a comprehensive and up-to-date conceptual framework for restorative justice suitable even for newcomers; and to challenge the barriers of restorative justice in the hope of taking its theory and practice a step further. The selected articles start by answering some fundamental questions about restorative justice regarding its historical and philosophical origins, and challenge the concept by bringing into the debate the human rights and equality discourses. Also included is material based on empirical testing of restorative justice claims especially those impacting on reoffending rates, victim satisfaction and reintegration. The volume concludes with a critique of restorative justice as well as with analytical thinking that aims to push its barriers. It is hoped that the investigations offered by this volume not only offer hope for a better system for abolitionists and reformists, but also new and convincing evidence to persuade the sceptics in the debate over restorative justice.

- [Power, Race, and Justice: The Restorative Dialogue We Will Not Have](https://www.theogavrielides.org/product/power-race-and-justice-the-restorative-dialogue-we-will-not-have/) - We are living in a world where power abuse has become the new norm, as well as the biggest, silent driver of persistent inequalities, racism and human rights violations. The COVID-19 socio-economic consequences can only be compared with those that followed World War II. As humanity is getting to grips with them, this timely book challenges current thinking, while creating a much needed normative and practical framework for revealing and challenging the power structures that feed our subconscious feelings of despair and defeatism. Structured around the four concepts of power, race, justice and restorative justice, the book uses empirical new data and normative analysis to reconstruct the way we prevent power abuse and harm at the inter-personal, inter-community and international levels. This book offers new lenses, which allow us to view power, race and justice in a modern reality where communities have been silenced, but through restorative justice are gaining voice. The book is enriched with case studies written by survivors, practitioners and those with direct experiences of power abuse and inequality. Through robust research methodologies, Gavrielides’s new monograph reveals new forms of slavery, while creating a new, philosophical framework for restorative punishment through the acknowledgement of pain and the use of catharsis for internal transformation and individual empowerment. This is a powerful and timely book that generates much needed hope. Through a multi-disciplinary dialogue that uses philosophy and critical theory, social sciences, criminology, law, psychology and human rights, the book opens new avenues for practitioners, researchers and policy makers internationally. ----------- The book is the award winner in the Social Change category of the 2026 International Book Awards. It was also shortlisted for the 2026 American Book Fest Award and is featured in the Social Change category. Moreover, the book was one of the three finalists for the American Society of Criminology-Division of International Criminology (ASC-DIC) Outstanding Book Award 2023.
- [Routledge International Handbook of Restorative Justice [signed]](https://www.theogavrielides.org/product/routledge-international-handbook-of-restorative-justice/) - This is the leading and most up to date book on restorative justice. In the words of Howard Zehr: "'This international Handbook grounds itself in the present and past in order to look to the future. It sets for itself an important but challenging goal: to reflect the state of restorative justice in the early 21st century, including not only developments in theory and practice, but also its essential debates and challenges. This is an important collection for anyone who wants to understand and grapple with 21st century restorative justice.'
- [A Victim-led Criminal Justice System: Addressing the paradox](https://www.theogavrielides.org/product/a-victim-led-criminal-justice-system/) - Following fierce campaigning by victims’ groups, the international community has entered into a debate that aims to move the victim from the margins to the centre of the criminal justice system. For instance, the European Union has recently entered into a process of legislative and policy reforms with the aim of strengthening the rights of victims in criminal proceedings. By November 2015, all EU member states had to modify their domestic laws to give effect to the Directive 2012/29/EU establishing minimum standards on the rights, support and protection of victims of crime. For the first time, restorative justice is explicitly regulated at EU legal level, as the Directive aims to establish a baseline for its safe implementation across member states. This ground-breaking and timely edited collection aims to contribute to this international debate. The book aims to challenge current thinking while highlighting good practices that respect and safeguard victims in the criminal justice and restorative justice processes. The book uses a combination of theoretical and empirical analysis while utilising original research data. Leading experts in the fields of victimology, restorative justice, human rights, criminology and justice take bold steps in advancing the debate for a victim-led criminal justice system. The book also aims to give voice to victims directly by involving them as authors of its chapters/ case studies and as research participants. The book also includes sample training material, best practice and guidelines through the contribution of victims, offenders and experts from across Europe.
- [Waves of Healing: Using Restorative Justice with Street Group Violence](https://www.theogavrielides.org/product/waves-of-healing-using-restorative-justice-with-street-group-violence/) - Despite the impressive literature on restorative justice, the potential of its paradigm with street group violence remain largely unexplored. The financial, political and social implications that recent riots are having on governments across the world spark a new debate on the appropriateness of restorative approaches in relieving the overstretched and costly criminal justice system. The book uses the case study method to investigate examples in India, Greece, Canada and England, where restorative justice is considered within the context of street group violence. Key issues are identified and recommendations are posited, as new policies, practices and research are being proposed in this grey area of restorative justice.
- [Restorative Justice and the Secure Estate: Alternatives for young people in custody](https://www.theogavrielides.org/product/restorative-justice-and-the-secure-estate-3/) - This book focuses on the use of restorative justice with young people in custody in the UK, and aims to achieve three objectives. Firstly, to provide and up-to-date descriptive account of restorative practices within the secure estate. This account looks at issues of classification, definition and understanding. Secondly, to prevent a critical overview of existing restorative practices with the objective of establishing the extent to which they influence the regimes and programmes of the secure estate. Based on qualitative data from young people, practitioners, policy makers, victims, offenders and academics, the paper posits evidence-based recommendations for policy and strategy analysts, researchers and practitioners at a critical point in time for the restorative justice movement.

- [Race in Probation](https://www.theogavrielides.org/product/race-in-probation/) - The world economic crisis in combination with the 2010 change in the UK government brought a number of institutional restructures and a shift in the philosophy on public spending. Criminal justice service provision is gradually becoming an open market space where competition and privatisation are encouraged. Within this context, the role of probation trusts is revisited. In a changing equality landscape where race is put at the bottom of policy and funding agendas, this timely book asks how service outcomes can be improved for black and minority ethnic users of probation services. London was the locus of investigation and the London Probation Trust the nexus of the book’s research. Issues around community engagement, restorative justice, mental health, substance abuse, foreign nationals, victims and resettlement are analysed, and recommendations are posited. The book identifies new paths to race equality that seize the international and national momentum of institutional and policy restructures. Its findings are not only relevant to anyone working within the field of criminal justice, but also to those fighting for race equality.

- [Listening to Young Women in Police Custody](https://www.theogavrielides.org/product/listening-to-young-women-in-police-custody/) - This book is based on user-led, new research and explores the extent to which the mental health needs of young women are identified and met whilst in, and after leaving, police custody. London, England was the location of the research but the findings and recommendations are relevant to researchers, practitioners and policy makers worldwide. The research that informed this book was carried out by young, female researchers who undertook interviews with the peers with direct experience of police custody while dealing with mental heath issues. The research identifies the need for greater consistency in catering for this group's needs as well as developing specialist services for black and minority ethnic women with mental health challenges whilst in police custody. The book also puts forward recommendations for effective interventions and better service provision. It also helps address stereotypes around what constitutes evidence and who can carry out credible research.

- [Restorative Justice and the Secure Estate](https://www.theogavrielides.org/product/restorative-justice-and-the-secure-estate/) - This book focuses on the use of restorative justice with young people in custody in the UK, and aims to achieve three objectives. Firstly, to provide and up-to-date descriptive account of restorative practices within the secure estate. This account looks at issues of classification, definition and understanding. Secondly, to prevent a critical overview of existing restorative practices with the objective of establishing the extent to which they influence the regimes and programmes of the secure estate. Based on qualitative data from young people, practitioners, policy makers, victims, offenders and academics, the paper posits evidence-based recommendations for policy and strategy analysts, researchers and practitioners at a critical point in time for the restorative justice movement.
- [Offenders No More](https://www.theogavrielides.org/product/offenders-no-more/) - "Offender rehabilitation" theory and practice have traditionally focused on curing "offenders" of their deviant tendencies by changing their habits, opportunities, personality and life outlook. Consequently, a number of interventions have been developed within the criminal justice system that are said to involve helping offenders. Success is measured by recidivism rates. Recently, the foundations of rehabilitation theory and practice have been shaken. Rehabilitation is now seen by many as a threat to offenders' rights and humanitarian principles. Some have even argued that rehabilitation practices are harmful to offenders' chances of going straight. Alongside these concerns, the entire paradigm on which our modern criminal justice systems are based has also been questioned. Alternative visions of justice have been moved out of the shadows in the hope that more effective processes are developed for safer and more just societies. One of these visions is encapsulated in restorative justice, which is based on the foundation of promoting human goods in the pursuit of restoration of harm and the correction of deviant behaviour. Restorative justice practices, such as mediation, circles and conferencing bring to the fore states of affairs, activities and experiences that are strongly associated with well-being and higher level of personal satisfaction and social functioning. They aim to create empathy and remorse and through constructive and honest dialogue create a sense of responsibility in the "offender" and a feeling of empowerment and justice in the "victim". Within this framework the labels of "victim" and "offender" collapse. A new approach to crime reduction and offender rehabilitation is thus needed. This ground-breaking edited volume aims to respond to this call by bringing together inter-disciplinary thinking.
- [Comparative Restorative Justice (hardback)](https://www.theogavrielides.org/product/comparative-restorative-justice-hardback/) - This edited collection introduces and defines the concept of “comparative restorative justice”, putting it in the context of power relations and inequality. It aims to compare the implementation and theoretical development of restorative justice internationally for research, policy and practice. In Part I, this volume compares practices in relation to the implementing environment - be that cultural, political, or societal. Part II looks at obstacles and enablers in relation to the criminal justice system, and considers whether inquisitorial versus adversarial jurisdictions have impact on how restorative justice is regulated and implemented. Finally, Part III compares the reasons that drive governments, regional bodies, and practitioners to implement restorative justice, and whether these impetuses impact on ultimate delivery. Featuring fifteen original chapters from diverse authors and practitioners, this will serve as a key resource for those working in social justice or those seeking to understand and implement the tenets of restorative justice comparatively.
- [Restorative Justice: Promoting Peace and Wellbeing](https://www.theogavrielides.org/product/restorative-justice-promoting-peace-and-wellbeing/) - This timely collection of chapters written by international experts bridges the gap between peace psychology and restorative justice. The Editors combined their respective fields of expertise to start a much-needed debate on the potential but also risks that are associated when implementing restorative justice in the peace psychology field. The volume highlights how psychological theory and research can inform and evaluate the potential of restorative practices in formal and informal educational settings as well as the criminal justice space. The chapters cover both negative and positive peace across levels while introducing the reader to various case studies from across the world. All in all, the book explores how restorative justice can promote positive peace through its connection fostering dialogue, empathy, forgiveness, and other key psychological elements of peace.

It challenges current debates through the consideration and integration of various disciplines such as law, criminology, philosophy and human rights into restorative justice theory, resulting in the development of new and stimulating arguments. Topics covered include the close relationship and convergence of restorative justice and human rights, some of the challenges of engagement with human rights, the need for the recognition of the teachings of restorative justice at both the theoretical and the applied level, the Aristotelian theory on restorative justice, the role of restorative justice in schools and in police practice and a discussion of the humanistic African philosophy of Ubuntu. With international contributions from various disciplines and through the use of value based research methods, the book deconstructs existing concepts and suggests a new conceptual model for restorative justice. This unique book will be of interest to academics, researchers, policy-makers and practitioners.
- [Restorative Justice Theory & Practice: Addressing the Discrepancy](https://www.theogavrielides.org/product/restorative-justice-theory-practice-addressing-the-discrepancy/) - Restorative Justice Theory & Practice: Addressing the Discrepancy is a ground-breaking book that examines the harmful gap between the restorative justice theory and its application in the U.S., Europe, and elsewhere. Data were obtained from four international surveys with over 300 restorative justice practitioners, using a combination of qualitative methodologies, including questionnaires, interviews and focus groups. Restorative justice projects strive to restore peace after a crime has been committed by involving victims, offenders and community representatives in dialogue. Previous studies reviewed by Dr. Gavrielides have credited these programmes with such benefits as lower recidivism, and higher levels of satisfaction with outcomes among victims, offenders and community representatives, compared to the traditional criminal justice system. However, the author's seven-year research programme uncovered a pervasive gap between restorative justice principles and current restorative justice operations. This gap is blamed for widespread difficulties such as insufficient funding for restorative justice, inadequate training and accreditation of practitioners, lack of faith and commitment among staff, and a tendency for restorative justice over time to become increasingly similar to the standard criminal justice system. Dr. Gavrielides warns that if these problems are not corrected, the original values and benefits of restorative justice may never be realised.
- [Rights & Restoration Within Youth Justice](https://www.theogavrielides.org/product/rights-restoration-within-youth-justice/) - Rights & Restoration within Youth Justice unites the principles and practices of human rights and restorative justice. Leading international experts challenge current thinking on evidence-based youth justice policy. Through international case studies, a framework emerges for connecting human rights and restorative justice approaches to criminal justice policy and practice.
- [The Psychology of Restorative Justice (hardback)](https://www.theogavrielides.org/product/the-psychology-of-restorative-justice-hardback/) - 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.
