2 Restorative Just. i (2014)

handle is hein.journals/restjust2 and id is 1 raw text is: Introduction to the issue The Editorial Team The first issue of volume 2 of Restorative Justice: An International Journal (RJIJ) begins with Dennis Wong's Editorial, discussing recent developments in restorative justice (RJ) in China, while at the same time inviting us to reflect on the challenges in the wider Asian region. The Journal was officially launched in September 2013 in Budapest, Hungary dur- ing the European Society of Criminology Conference. On that occasion Shadd Maruna delivered the first 'RJIJ Annual Lecture' in which he highlighted the work of Albert Eglash, the American psychologist who is said to have invented the term 'restorative jus- tice' in the 1950s. On the basis of his lecture, Maruna writes for this issue about the contexts and ideas that led Eglash to start using this term. He then examines the meaning of Eglash's work after 60 years of RJ practices. The issue then presents three'regular' articles, all discussing recent developments in theoretical and empirical research in the field of RJ, albeit at very different levels. The first is by Ward, Fox and Garber and looks at the different concepts of rehabilitation, restorative justice and desistance theories on offender cessation from crime. The sec- ond article is by Green, Johnstone and Lambert and investigates how people experience the introduction of restorativeness as cultural change within an organisational context. The final article is by Burns and Daly and discusses a core dilemma faced by victims of 'everyday rape' in Cambodia: the preferred response is somroh somruel, a customary dis- pute resolution process that challenges legal and human rights approaches and is mostly rejected by the state and international and local NGOs. The Notes from the field in this issue consist of reflections by Brunilda Pali and Howard Zehr on art, social change and restorative justice. Pali reports on a recent exhi- bition by the American new media artist Sharon Daniel and discusses these concepts in this light. Zehr replies to these reflections while considering other ideas which he has developed over the years through his experience as a photographer, in his writings on'art as justice' and through other artistic endeavours. Finally, three book reviews by authors from the United Kingdom, South Africa and the United States of America discuss very different publications and topics, including RJ
