Community & Restorative Justice

Dr. Griffiths has a long-standing interest in the development of community-based and restorative justice approaches that may more effectively address the needs of victims, offenders and the community.  His work on crime and justice among Inuit in the eastern Arctic was designed to identify opportunities for alternative processes for justice.  As well, he co-authored (with Yvon Dandurand) a handbook on restorative justice for the United Nations.
