The Centre for Restorative Justice is the world leader in experimental and theoretical research on the design and cost-effectiveness of restorative responses to crime. Its mission is to produce, synthesize and apply primary field studies wherever they can be conducted, translating that research into evidence-based policies around the world. The Centre's Director is Dr Heather Strang.
The Centre’s global work is focused on the Jerry Lee Program on Randomized Controlled Experiments in Restorative Justice, in affiliation with the Jerry Lee Centre for Experimental Criminology at the University of Cambridge, the Jerry Lee Center for Criminology at the University of Pennsylvania and the United Kingdom-based Justice Research Consortium. The Lee Program is co-directed by Dr Strang and Lawrence Sherman, Wolfson Professor of Criminology at the University of Cambridge.
The Centre is located at ANU’s College of Asia and the Pacific, within the Regulatory Institutions Network (RegNet). The Network, which was founded by John and Valerie Braithwaite and is chaired by Professor Hilary Charlesworth, is a strategic planning initiative of the ANU which aims to build research excellence in regulation. RegNet is comprised of a number of centres within ANU, together with regulatory scholars both nationally and internationally, who are engaged in research into regulation across a range of areas including democratic institutions, policing, human rights, the environment and occupational health and safety. Full details of RegNet activities and membership are available on the RegNet website at http://regnet.anu.edu.au/.
