The RJ4All International Institute has been working in the area of violent radicalisation and extremism since its inception. Our multi-year programme can be accessed via this link
At a critical time, when divisive and extremist narratives are feeding new wars, inter-community and inter-personal conflicts, the 5th RJ4All Annual International conference will challenges the current model for preventing and controlling violent radicalisation and extremism. The online conference will also aim to open new possibilities by discussing RJ4All’s resilience model, RJiNEAR.
RJiNEAR has been tested through international and local pilots, the findings of which are included in RJ4All Founder Director’s new monograph Addressing Violent Radicalisation and Extremism
A Restorative Justice & Psychosocial Approach
Through a positive, scientific approach. the model taps into the combined strengths of restorative justice, positive criminology and positive psychology to articulate and pilot a new model for prevention and control of the acts and behaviours that lead to violence and suffering.

Our annual conference is based on Gavrielides’s new book. This combines philosophy, normative analysis and primary data collected through six pilot projects that were carried out in several countries from 2017. It presents the results of these pilots and normative thinking through critical analysis leading to practical tools for preventing and controlling harm particularly violent radicalised acts and extremist behaviours and worldviews.
The book is structured around three parts moving from theory to pilots and ultimately to critical analysis. Part I aims to present the normative and scientific framework within which the book’s objectives are placed. Part II is exclusively based on new, original data collected through six case studies and fieldwork. The case studies act as pilots that used the book’s positive philosophy for building resilience against harm and embodying the restorative justice ethos. The case studies span over 7 years. Part III combines the normative and empirical approaches of the previous two parts to achieve two objectives. Firstly, it engages in a critical analysis of all the presented evidence and arguments. Secondly, it provides a list of resources, ecourses, toolkits and handbooks that were produced during the carrying out of the case studies. These resources can be used buy educators, trainers, practitioners and policy makers with some translated into various languages.
