Principles and Guidelines for Restorative Justice in Criminal Matters
- Federal-Provincial - Territorial Ministers for Justice and Public Safety. August 2019
Canadian principles and guidelines for RJ in criminal matters were first published in 2004 following an extensive national engagement process.

Restorative Justice Review: A frame for Criminal Justice Transformation in Alberta
A research team was procured by Alberta Justice and Solicitor General to produce a report examining the state of restorative justice in Alberta. This report would include a literature review, an examination of models of restorative justice, as well as, a set of recommendations for the Government of Alberta to enhance the practice of restorative justice. The team of consultants was asked to provide a final report in March 2018.
