To understand how people experience justice and security is a
challenging task in times of unrest, marked by growing perceptions
of insecurity, discrimination and uncertainty. The European project
ALTERNATIVE aimed to understand justice and security experiences
related to conflicts in intercultural settings, when citizens are
given the means to actively contribute to these processes. This
book relates how the project was set up as an action research
through the concrete description of four action sites: social
housing estates in Vienna, Austria; a small community in Hungary
with a Roma population; three border towns in Serbia; and three
communities in Northern Ireland. These four sites have been
compared through an innovative methodology, which leads to a deeper
understanding of the impact of participatory and restorative
justice oriented processes, and - in a more general way - of what
action research may entail in the criminological field. Bringing
together researchers and case studies from around Europe, this book
examines the scientific potential of action research as a
methodology in criminal justice settings. This book is one of two
volumes resulting from the work by a group of researchers in six
European countries having cooperated intensively during four years
in ALTERNATIVE, an action research project funded under the EU
Seventh Framework Programme.
