Abstract
The use of restorative justice in education, criminal justice and other contexts
has proliferated in a number of jurisdictions in recent years, if we take a dialogic
definition of the term (Hoyle, 2010). At the same time, it has been possible
to observe growing levels of communication and collaboration across
borders, as well as between disciplines and professions, within the broader
restorative field. While the benefits of these partnerships and relationships
may be difficult to quantify, few would deny that they should be nurtured,
if the ultimate aim is to maximise the benefits and minimise the risks of
the use of restorative approaches to crime, harm and conflict.
This text argues that communication and collaboration between those
involved in restorative justice (RJ) in different settings and capacities
should be further enhanced and structured. It outlines the activities of a
new organisation, the Community of Restorative Researchers, simultaneously
exploring the changing nature of communication and collaboration in the
Internet age, and analysing the prospects, benefits and limitations of this
and other attempts by restorativists to connect with one another. The Note
finishes by briefly considering what it means, or should mean, to be a restorative researcher.
