Restorative Justice Database Reaches 5000 Citations

New books, articles and studies on restorative justice appear every month. Where can you go to search their citations, read brief descriptions, and in many cases find a link to a full-text copy of the paper? The answer is the Restorative Justice Online Research Database, which recently added its 5000th entry.

The articles database builds on an annotated bibliography compiled by Dr. Paul McCold in 1997. This work described over 500 works in the area of restorative justice. Several years ago, Dr. McCold and the bibliography’s publisher, Criminal Justice Press, gave permission to Restorative Justice Online to make the bibliography available online. Over the past three years, the database has been continually updated.  

Items indexed in the database include journal articles, conference papers, books, book chapters, online articles, and government documents. When possible, an abstract is provided for each item. The database can be searched in different ways including by title, author, and abstract. The search may also be limited to items with a link to the full-text online and by using exact words.  

In light of the expanding international interest and scholarship in restorative justice, Restorative Justice Online also lists articles in languages other than English. At the moment, there are approximately

  • 80 articles in Spanish
  • 36 articles in French
  • 12 articles in Italian
  • 4 articles in Portuguese

The database is continually updated. Please send suggestion for articles, books, and papers for listing (together with a suggested annotation, if you like) to Lynette Parker.
