Responding to Hate Crime
The Case for Connecting Policy and Research
"At a time of heightened focus on 'hate crimes', renowned experts Chakraborti and Garland bring together an international array of commentators to make a persuasive case for restorative approaches to hate crime. The strength of this edited collection is found in the synergy between scholarship and policy." Professor Carolyn Hoyle, University of Oxford "Neil Chakraborti and Jon Garland are to be congratulated for bringing together this exceptionally important, comprehensive and stimulating collection of essays exploring the hate crime scholarship-policy nexus. Responding to Hate Crime is a text of remarkable range and sophistication; it is both timely and forward-thinking. The tragic consequences of prejudice and bigotry are sadly all too familiar to all of us, but the small 'signs of progress' noted by the editors are in no small part due to their own pioneering work in this field." Yvonne Jewkes, Professor of Criminology, University of Leicester
