Katic, Barbara; Alba, Laura A.; Johnson, Austin H. – Journal of School Violence, 2020
Despite its increasing recognition and use in U.S. schools, a limited amount of research has evaluated the effect of restorative justice (RJ) for school violence prevention and response.

Analyses examined school-level longitudinal growth models and individual-level pretest-posttest comparisons…
