About This Book

"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 analyse the agents of informal justice, its victims and why communities endorse this form of retribution.

They conclude the book with a wider debate on the abuse of human rights suffered by many victims of community crime and tentatively highlight future policy implications."--BOOK JACKET.
