Document Actions
The Centre for Justice and Reconciliation at Prison Fellowship International has announced that it will award the third International Prize for Restorative Justice in July 2007.
The $5,000 (US) award was first presented in 2003 to Howard Zehr for his individual leadership and influence in the field. The second recipients, in 2005, were Kim Workman and Jackie Katounas for their work as practitioners and programme leaders in New Zealand.
The third prize will be awarded to an organization whose work has led to significant advances in the implementation of restorative justice.
The third prize will be awarded to an organization whose work has led to significant advances in the implementation of restorative justice.
- The significance of the advances may be demonstrated in terms of scale, innovation, or other ways of measuring societal impact.
- The focus is on implementation of the advances, although conceptual, design, promotional or other work preceding or following implementation may be considered in awarding the prize.
- Finally, the criterion of substantial responsibility acknowledges that most achievements in restorative justice are the result of activity by many people. The recipient organization should have played a uniquely significant role within the joint effort.
Nominations may be submitted between November 1, 2006 and March 31, 2007 (See the attached nomination guide).
The Centre is the justice reform arm of Prison Fellowship International, an association of NGOs in over 100 countries. One of the Centre’s projects is to develop and maintain www.restorativejustice.org.
