Restorative Justice for Survivors of Sexual Abuse
In the media
On our blog: Why are your options for getting justice after you are raped so limited?
Integral to sexual abuse survivors’ healing is understanding the nature of their abuse.
Drawing on interviews, this book gives a voice to survivors and illuminates how restorative justice processes can meet their justice needs. With a unique focus on the people around the survivor rather than on the abuser, it addresses the harm caused to survivors by those who enable their abuse, who fail to protect them, or fail to believe them.
Marinari offers radical solutions for the development of restorative justice programs and policy initiatives, including practical guidelines for practitioners, and new directions for academic research.
“Addresses a significant gap in the academic and the professional literature in the field of restorative justice and sexual assault/abuse and provides insights into the justice needs and subjective experiences of sexually abused women.” Tali Gal, The University of Haifa
"Provides a vital new perspective on the potential role of restorative justice in meeting sexual violence survivors' justice interests. We must all take seriously this book's recommendations for change." Clare McGlynn, Durham University
“A timely, thorough and original book on the under-researched topic of restorative justice for sexual violence. Marinari addresses it with care and gives a voice to those most affected. A must-read contribution to the debate.” Estelle Zinsstag, University of Oxford and KU Leuven
