Organisation: Independent Academic Research Studies (IARS)
Few words about me: Dr. Gavrielides is the Founder and Director of the social policy think-tank Independent Academic Research Studies. IARS is an independent, social policy think-tank with a mission to enable young people from all walks of life to participate in civic life, and inform and influence policies and practices affecting them particularly in the areas of citizenship and civic engagement, criminal justice, human rights, equality, restorative justice and education.
He is also a Visiting Senior Research Fellow at the International Centre for Comparative Criminological Research (ICCCR) at Open University and a Visiting Scholar at the Centre for Criminology and Justice Research Department of Justice Mount Royal University (Canada). He is also a Trustee of the Anne Frank Trust.
Previously, he was the Chief Executive of Race on the Agenda, a social policy think-tank focusing on race equality. He also worked at the Ministry of Justice as the Human Rights Advisor of the Strategy Directorate.
Dr. Gavrielides obtained a doctorate in law from the London School of Economics and Political Science (PhD, 2004) and a Masters in Human Rights Law from Nottingham University (LL.M in Human Rights Law, 2000). He graduated from the Faculty of Laws of the National University of Athens and practised law at Gavrielides & Co.
Dr. Gavrielides has published extensively in academic journals while his book “Restorative Justice theory and practice” has been published by the European Institute for Crime Prevention and Control affiliated with the United Nations (HEUNI) and Criminal Justice Press (ISBN 978-952-5333-32-9). Currently, Dr. Gavrielides is working on a new book titled "Rights and Restoration within Youth Justice". The book is due to be published in 2012 by de Sitter Publications.
