Curry, Devinder and Williams, Brian and Knight, Victoria and Owens-Rawle, Derek and Patel, Sunita and Semenchuk, Mike (2003). Restorative Justice in the Juvenile Secure Estate Youth Justice Board for England and Wales. Downloaded 7 March 2005.

This research was funded by the Youth Justice Board for England and Wales in order to establish the scope of restorative work currently being undertaken within custodial and secure establishments, and to identify and disseminate good practice. It was undertaken by the Community and Criminal Justice Division at De Montfort University, Leicester between 2002 and 2003. The full report describes the use of a range of restorative interventions in Young Offender Institutions (YOIs), Local Authority Secure Units (LASUs)1 and Secure Training Centres (STCs) (collectively known as the juvenile secure estate). The research aimed to establish the extent to which restorative justice influences the regimes and programmes in secure institutions, as well as to identify good practice that might usefully be replicated elsewhere.
