This book provides a unique insight into the lived realities of
hate crime in Ireland and its treatment within the criminal justice
system. The significance of the Irish case is contextualised within
the European and global policy contexts and an overview of hate
crime in Ireland, both north and south, and its differential
treatment in each jurisdiction's criminal justice system is
offered. Presenting empirically grounded analyses of the
experiences of commonly targeted identity groups in an Irish
context, this study also draws upon their exposure to hate crime
and challenges encountered in seeking redress. Combining theory,
research and practice, this book represents legal, social, cultural
and political concerns pertinent to understanding, preventing,
deterring and combatting hate crime across Ireland. It incorporates
a variety of perspectives on the hate crime paradigm and addresses
many of the cutting-edge debates arising in the field of hate
studies. Contributions from Irish and international academic
researchers are complemented by applied pieces authored by
practitioners and policy makers actively engaged with affected
communities. This is a progressive and informed text which will be
of great value to activists, policy makers and scholars of hate
crime and criminal justice.
Popular, political and media discourses frame the issue of
migration and shape how and when it enters the public and political
consciousness. These discourses are of crucial importance as they
influence both the general public's perception of migration and the
policies which regulate both the act of migration itself and
migrant residents. Public and Political Discourses of Migration
brings together an interdisciplinary group of established and
emerging scholars, whose work interrogates the relationship between
discourse and migration. Through the application of a variety of
theoretical lenses drawn from the broad canon of discourse studies,
each contribution unpicks the productive power of discourse in
shaping the reality of migration, migration policy and migrant
lives in the twenty-first century. The cases examined emerge, as do
their authors, from a wide spectrum of national, political and
cultural contexts. They are linked by their fundamental questioning
of 'common sense' and ahistorical approaches to migration. They
address the question of whose interests are served by prevailing
discourses and the structures they underpin. Ultimately, they 'make
strange' accepted 'truths' regarding migration in the twenty-first
century.
