Hate Crime and Restorative Justice: Exploring Causes, Repairing Harms

Mark Austin Walters (University of Sussex). Hate Crime and Restorative Justice (Oxford University Press, 2014).

"The product of an 18 month empirical study which examined the use of restorative justice for hate crime in the United Kingdom, this book draws together theory and practice in order to examine the causes and consequences of hate crime victimisation. Hate Crime and Restorative Justice . . . also identifies the key process variables within restorative practice that can help to repair the harms of hatred. In doing so, it challenges commonly held conceptions of both 'hate crime' and 'restorative justice' through its use of qualitative research of restorative interventions across the UK."
