The current project aims to collect key readings on ‘restorative justice’ in both law and social sciences fields. In order to encourage more studies on restorative justice from different perspectives and disciplines to speed knowledge accumulation, it is necessary to establish and upgrade the current academic resources in short term. Our society has specific criminal justice origin. Recent social development and challenges for criminal justice system also demands a better knowledge base for dealing with issues on ethnic integration and transitional justice. A comprehensive investigation into the philosophical root, ideology, value, policy, evidence, and best practice of restorative justice is in urgent needs. Therefore, this project will focus on collecting English literature published by selected countries in North America and Europe, which are experienced at researching and applying restorative justice on pluralist justice system, transitional justice, and demographically diverse society. We believe that Taiwan society can draw lessons from previous evidence of restorative justice to prevent crime incidents, reduce criminal cases, and enhance harmonious intrapersonal relationships. Since restorative justice covers widespread issues across disciplines and boarders, this project will be two-year-term to fulfill its aim. We divide the topic into eleven sub-topics and list prioritized core readings under each subtitles. In the fist year, we will focus on classic readings written or translated into English, including timeless publications by contemporary masters which are the common collections of international research centers and key libraries in America, Australia, Canada etc. In the following year, we will turn to more recent key readings, research reports, journal issues, official publications and electronic sources by international organizations in English or other languages. Due to the scarcity of domestic collection on restorative justice topics, this project will expand and renew general and specific sub topics in this field in both quantitative and qualitative terms. In order to maximize cost effectiveness, the National Taipei University Library will support the Reading Reservation Planning Committee in full strength. The duplicate copies within the book list will be constantly reviewed and strictly controlled to below 30 per cent; as long as a comprehensive set of masterpiece in restorative justice is well reserved in our library. The faculty and students in National Taipei University have devoted to researching restorative justice related issues in the past. This project will establish a well structured resource center to support taught modules and research, to increase publications on Asian model restorative justice, and in turn, to enhance dialogues and interplays between law scholars and social sciences scholars, between academics and practitioners, and between domestic and international researchers.
