E-Books →Remaking justice after sexual violence Essays in conventional, restorative, and innovative justice (4)

What are effective responses to sexual violence? A global social movement is once again challenging sexual violence in all its settings: where we live, work, study, sleep, play, and pray. As more victims and survivors report to the police, speak out in street protests and online spaces, and disclose to psychologists, inquiries, and the media, they face inept and insensitive criminal and civil justice systems. What is to be done? This anthology provides an answer.
Kathleen Daly has been writing on crime and justice for four decades, joining empirical inquiry with feminist, critical race, criminological, and socio-legal theories. This anthology of 11 previously published works (1989 to 2020) and two new essays shows the evolution of her ideas on the strengths and limits of conventional, restorative, and innovative justice in response to sexual violence.

This entails blending criminal justice with innovative justice mechanisms and providing a menu of options for victims and admitted offenders within and outside conventional justice.
