This book provides a unique account of the high-profile
community-based restorative justice projects in the Republican and
Loyalist communities that have emerged with the ending of the
conflict in Northern Ireland. Unprecedented new partnerships
between Republican communities and the Police Service of Northern
Ireland have developed, and former IRA and UVF combatants and
political ex prisoners have been amongst those involved. Community
restorative justice projects have been central to these
groundbreaking changes, acting as both facilitator and
transformer.
Based on an extensive range of interviews with key players in
this process, many of them former combatants, and unique access to
the different community projects this books tells a fascinating
story. At the same time this book explores the wider implications
for restorative justice internationally, highlighting the important
lessons for partnerships between police and community in other
jurisdictions, particularly in the high-crime alienated
neighbourhoods which exist in most western societies, as well as
transitional ones. It also offers a critical analysis of the roles
of both community and state and the tensions around the ownership
of justice, and a critical, unromanticized assessment of the role
of restorative justice in the community.
