Abstract

The Le Chéile Justice Project in Limerick is Ireland’s only non-statutory
service providing formal restorative justice interventions to young offenders.
Established in 2010, the project co-operates closely with Young Persons’ Probation,
which refers children and young people in conflict with the law to the Project. This
article presents the main findings from an Evaluation and Social Return on
Investment analysis of the Project, conducted over six months in 2014 by the
authors, working under the auspices of Quality Matters. It describes the impact and
outcomes for young people, family members, victims of crime and the wider
community, as well as making a brief comment on the Project’s cost effectiveness.
