Beskrivning

Informal Justice in Divided Societies examines the ways in which paramilitary and vigilante activity are linked with controlling community crime in both Northern Ireland and South Africa. Drawing upon original research, Colin Knox and Rachel Monaghan analyze the agents of informal justice, its victims and why communities endorse this form of retribution. They conclude the book with a wider debate of the abuse of human rights suffered by many victims of community crime and tentatively highlight future policy implications.

'Well written and making excellent use of both existing literature and original qualitative and quantitative data, this book succeeds admirably in its objectives, makes a substantial contribution to theory and demonstrates the effectiveness of micro-level comparative public policy analysis.' - Finbarr Lane, University College Dublin
