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: Exploring Causes, Repairing Harms 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. The study's findings
provide original data on the contextual variables that are
intrinsic to both the cause and effect of hate-motivated offences,
revealing complex socio-cultural and socio-economic factors that
are fundamental, both to our understanding of hate crime and to how
such incidents can be best resolved. Through meticulous analysis
and discussion, the book also provides new information on how
restorative processes can be used to repair the harms of hate and
challenge the prejudices which give rise to hate-motivated
conflicts. The issue of group identity and cultural 'difference'
amongst participants of restorative justice is explored and
examined through the use of detailed case studies, allowing
assessment of whether dialogical barriers to reconciliation can
limit the success of restorative processes. In particular, the
notion of 'community', a fundamental concept of restorative justice
theory and practice, is reconceptualised by exploring both its
healing and harming features. Utilising data from the first study
of its kind, Hate Crime and Restorative Justice draws together
theoretical assumptions about restorative philosophy and empirical
evidence of its use for hate crime to offer a more holistic
understanding of how restorative justice can help repair the harms
caused by processes of hate, while simultaneously challenging the
identity-based prejudices that continue to pervade our
multicultural communities.
