Reynol Hsueh Hung Cheng
Reynol Hsueh Hung Cheng is a PhD scholar focusing on restorative practice, gender equality, peace-building, and social reconciliation. His proposed PhD explores the potential of restorative justice in addressing youth justice issues in Taiwan, with a particular focus on the rehabilitation of young offenders and the empowerment of victims/survivors. Prior to joining RegNet, Reynol was a licensed facilitator in Taiwan and a police inspector in the Taipei City Police Department. He worked on enhancing inclusiveness and gender awareness in Taiwan’s criminal justice system. Reynol holds a Bachelor of Arts in police administration from the Central Police University, as well as a Bachelor of Arts (First Class Honours) in criminology from the University of Tasmania, with a thesis that probed Tasmanian criminal justice practitioners’ strategies to address peer-to-peer child sexual abuse cases in school settings and their views on applying restorative justice to deal with these cases. He also holds a Master’s degree in gender studies that researched the democratisation of intimacy and its limits in Taiwanese women’s cross-cultural relationships, and how these women strategically confronted multiple oppressions. Reynol is the recipient of a Taiwan ANU Scholarship and HDR Merit Scholarship
