Governments have responded with punitive measures, including the criminalization of these practices and the inclusion of references to honor, culture, and tradition in legislation. However, these criminal law-based responses have been criticized for failing to address the unique needs of victims and for potentially exacerbating secondary victimization.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book aims to explore alternative approaches to addressing cases of honor-based violence and forced marriages. It begins by reviewing existing literature on the topic and presenting new empirical data. The book then presents a case study from the United Kingdom, examining the debate surrounding Sharia Councils and the Muslim Arbitration Tribunal. Instead, it focuses on other community-based secular programs that have been implemented to address honor crimes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA study from Norway is also investigated as part of a larger multi-agency approach. The book proposes effective ways to tackle honor crimes based on cooperation and individualization of proceedings, with the goal of improving women's access to justice and reducing secondary victimization.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe book will be of interest to researchers and academics in law, criminology, sociology, and anthropology, as well as policy-makers and practitioners working with honor-based violence cases. It offers valuable insights into the complexities of addressing this issue and provides a roadmap for developing more effective and compassionate responses.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 540g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 163 x 240 x 25 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9780367505974\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ClaraRigoni","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":44104531247354,"sku":"9780367505974","price":151.28,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1665764130673_book.jpg?v=1665932187","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/honourbased-violence-and-forced-marriages-community-and-restorative-practices-in-europe-9780367505974","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
