Justice in Transition: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Justice in Transition" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

This book provides a unique account of the high-profile community-based restorative justice projects in the Republican and Loyalist communities that have emerged with the ending of the conflict in Northern Ireland. Unprecedented new partnerships between Republican communities and the Police Service of Northern Ireland have developed, and former IRA and UVF combatants and political ex prisoners have been amongst those involved. Community restorative justice projects have been central to these groundbreaking changes, acting as both facilitator and transformer.

Based on an extensive range of interviews with key players in this process, many of them former combatants, and unique access to the different community projects this books tells a fascinating story. At the same time this book explores the wider implications for restorative justice internationally, highlighting the important lessons for partnerships between police and community in other jurisdictions, particularly in the high-crime alienated neighbourhoods which exist in most western societies, as well as transitional ones. It also offers a critical analysis of the roles of both community and state and the tensions around the ownership of justice, and a critical, unromanticized assessment of the role of restorative justice in the community.

Acknowledgements

This book started its life as a PhD thesis undertaken at Queens University Belfast, and became a monograph after moving with me to Monash University, Melbourne. It has been an extraordinary experience. Some days were less than fun and the computer no friend of mine. However, I have had more good times than Id ever imagined when this journey began, thanks in no small part to the people I met along the way.

Above all, a most sincere thank you to all staff and volunteers at Community Restorative Justice Ireland and Northern Ireland Alternatives, for the unprecedented access which facilitated this research. They are an extraordinary group of people who introduced me not only to the intricacies of Northern Ireland but also to their own lives, and for that I will always be immensely grateful. This is their story, and it has been an absolute privilege to be able to tell it. Any mistakes and unusual academic interpretations included in this book are very much my own.

Thanks also to all other interviewees who generously gave their time and shared their experiences with me. Their candid comments have had an important impact on the discussions in this book, and I am very appreciative of the significant work they do in this time of transition in Northern Ireland. In particular, the Police Service of Northern Ireland, the Northern Ireland Housing Executive, the Northern Ireland Probation Board, the Social Services, the Youth Justice Agency, and representatives from political parties, thank you so very much. The individuals I spoke with know who they are, and I very much hope to continue our discussions in the near future.

Kieran McEvoy, who has travelled this journey with me through good days and bad first as the supervisor of my PhD thesis at Queens University Belfast and later as a colleague and friend even though I have temporarily deserted the shores of Northern Ireland in moving to the other side of the world thank you. Always.

And a sincere thank you to Professors Shad Maruna and Heather Strang who as examiners of the original thesis provided important and valuable feedback and encouragement.

And thanks to all other friends and colleagues at Queens who provided a supportive, challenging and exciting environment for a PhD student with a funny accent. In particular, thanks are extended to Louise Mallinder and Vicky Conway, dear friends and colleagues, who probably know more about this journey than is healthy we will soon share a pint in the Parlour beer garden weather permitting, that is.

Writing a PhD thesis can sometimes be a lonely and frustrating experience. Hence, a very special thank you goes to the extraordinary staff and residents at the De Paul Trust in Belfast. You know youve had a bad day when someone who has been put out of their home by paramilitaries and who is trying to put their life back together tells you, You look like shite and Do you want a cup of tea? Apart from making me feel worthwhile for doing a decent job, they also provided me with hope and the conviction that Northern Ireland is filled with people of resilience, courage and good humour in the face of adversity and that it will take a lot more than 30 years of violent conflict to break their spirit.

In Australia, thank you to Sanja Milivojevic, who not only suffered through early drafts of this book and provided invaluable feedback, but who also made my own transition from Belfast to Melbourne a brilliant experience and who has become a friend for life. Sydney is lucky to have you. And a very big thanks to my new colleagues at Monash University, both academic and general staff, who have provided invaluable support and encouragement during the writing of this book. And Heli Askola, my fellow Scandinavian (even though we pretend that Finland is much better than Sweden), thank you for providing frank and welcome feedback on individual chapters, and for accepting my home-cooked food by way of payment.

Last, but never least, my most heartfelt thank you to my family: Mum, Dad and Syster Yster Maria, for their encouragement, support and unwavering faith throughout this process. Thank you for keeping me sane, and for giving me a place to rest when life becomes a bit too much. This project is finally finished, and I even got a real job at the end of it!

Foreword

Belfast can be an unforgiving place. As the novelist David Parks wrote, this is a place that eulogises a ship that sank and an alcoholic footballer the Titanic and George Best to the uninitiated. Perhaps it is the harsh history of industrialisation and centuries of sustained violence, or our legendary certainties as to the rightness of those historic enmities, or the pitch black sense of humour of the citys citizenry whatever the reasons, it is not a place that suffers academic pretensions lightly. For the years of her PhD, Anna Eriksson, a Swede, educated in Australia and Cambridge, immersed herself in the unlikely setting of community-based restorative justice projects in some of the most socio-economically deprived areas of the city.
