On the third episode of Restorative Conversations, I interview Prof. Ivo Aertsen, Director of the Leuven Institute of Criminology, Editor-in-Chief of the new academic journal Restorative Justice, and former Chair of the European Forum for Restorative Justice. We speak about his recent research, his involvement in instigating the use of restorative justice in Belgium, and the current situation regarding the use of restorative justice in that country. We also talk about the EFRJ and the new journal, as well as the future of restorative justice in Europe.
