In the last 20 years, the related phenomena of honour-based
violence and forced marriages have received increasing attention at
the international and European level. Punitive responses towards
this type of violence have been adopted, including ad hoc
criminalisation and legislation containing direct references to the
concepts of honour, culture, and tradition. However, criminal
law-based responses present several shortcomings and have often
disregarded the specific needs that victims of such crimes might
encounter. This book examines the possibility of using alternative
programmes to address cases of honour-based violence and forced
marriages. After reviewing previous existing literature, it
presents new empirical data. Introducing a case study from the
United Kingdom, the book recalls the debate on Sharia Councils and
the Muslim Arbitration Tribunal, but examines instead other
community-based secular programmes. By comparison, a study from
Norway on the work of the National Mediation Agency and the
so-called Cross-Cultural Transformative Mediation model is
investigated as part of a larger multi-agency approach. Ultimately,
in an attempt to reconcile pluralism and the rule of law, the book
proposes effective ways to tackle honour crimes based on
cooperation and individualisation of the proceedings, and capable
of improving women's access to justice and reducing secondary
victimisation. The book will be essential reading for researchers
and academics in Law, Criminology, Sociology, and Anthropology and
for policy-makers and practitioners working with honour-based
violence cases.
