Research Questions and Methods

 

Our research questions were:

 

1. What are the restorative justice values and practices at IJLA?

2. What are the goals of restorative justice at IJLA? 

3. What are the staffs’ and students’ experiences with restorative justice?

 

We administered a short survey and conducted focus groups with students and staff. We wanted to conduct one-on-one interviews as a follow-up to the focus groups but did not have time. This follow-up could take place in the future. Below is the survey and focus group protocol that we used. Click to download a copy.
