About this listen

In this episode, we explore the role of restorative justice in addressing historical clerical child sexual abuse at Blackrock College, a prominent school in Dublin, Ireland.


The discussion is grounded in the academic research paper: Empowering Victims/Survivors or Restorative Washing? Institutional and Clerical Sexual Abuse of School Children and Restorative Justice by David O’Mahony and Michelle Butler, published in the British Journal of Criminology.
