Abstract
The existence and use of restorative justice has evolved in the past 50 years. This includes research related to the development and effectiveness of such within a number of academic and professional areas. It also includes the types of practical activities and processes based upon the theoretical premise of restorative justice, which is referred to as restorative pedagogy. The purpose of this chapter is to outline the use of restorative justice in higher education. This includes the application of restorative justice practices as a viable alternative to punitive-based responses to student misconduct. Finally, this chapter discusses the infusion of restorative justice content and practices in criminal justice courses.
