Restorative Justice
A website that offers links and information to Government documents relating to Law, Prisons, and the Judicial system; to various Legal Issues; to important aspect of Cultural differences in understanding this concept; and useful links to various International sites that offer a different perspective.

Online Dispute Resolution
A site out of University of Massachusetts, and is part of the Center for Information Technology and Dispute Resolution. The Center is dedicated to understanding the nature and origins of online conflict and of appropriate responses to it. In addition, we view the online environment as a "place" where increasingly powerful tools will be available for working to find solutions to all conflicts, whether they originated online or offline, whether they are public or private, whether they involve transactions or relationships, and whether they are international or domestic.

Here is a link to an useful article Conflict Management in Higher Education Report that offers an overview of some of the issues in higher education.
