Hidden resilience and adaptive dynamics of the global online hate ecology
N. F. Johnson, R. Leahy, N. Johnson Restrepo, N. Velasquez, M. Zheng, P. Manrique, P. Devkota, S. Wuchty | Published in 2019
Online hate and extremist narratives have been linked to abhorrent real-world events, including a current surge in hate crimes and an alarming increase in youth suicides that result from social media vitriol; inciting mass shootings such as the 2019 attack in Christchurch, stabbings and bombings; recruitment of extremists, including entrapment and sex-trafficking of girls as fighter brides; threats against public figures, including the 2019 verbal attack against an anti-Brexit politician, and hybrid (racist–anti-women–anti-immigrant) hate threats against a US member of the British royal family; and renewed anti-western hate in the 2019 post-ISIS landscape associated with support for Osama Bin Laden’s son and Al Qaeda. Social media platforms seem to be losing the battle against online hate and urgently need new insights. This paper shows that the key to understanding the resilience of online hate lies in its global network-of-network dynamics.

Implementing Restorative Justice with Children
International Juvenile Justice Observatory | Published in 2018
this Practical Guide aims to disseminate the knowledge and promising practices that have been gathered in the first year of the project, by framing them with the legal safeguards and rights provided for children – specifically for children who enter in contact with justice, as victims and as offenders – and envisages to make a restorative process safe and childfriendly. Being aimed at professionals of the juvenile justice systems (youth and health workers, police, lawyers, magistrates, probation officers, educators and other professionals working with child victims and child offenders), and at policy makers, the Guide will show in detail how three successful practice models of juvenile restorative justice have actually been implemented, which steps have been followed – from the legislative reforms to the evaluation of the process at local level – and how they practically address the needs of young people.

How to talk about FGM
Through this position paper, the End FGM European Network sets out its approach to language in the global movement to End FGM. It is intended for any person seeking information on FGM and the vocabulary used in the field, and is of particular interest to the media and other professionals reporting on the subject or in contact with FGM survivors and FGM-affected communities. To ensure an accurate understanding of the practice, the paper first presents the official definition of female genital mutilation and its related denominations in different contexts. We then present narratives and discourse surrounding the practice and provide recommendations to avoid stigmatisation and promote empowerment.

European Forum for Restorative Justice | Published in 2018
This document is designed to offer guidance and support within the field of restorative justice. It is not intended to be prescriptive as there is also a risk in standards that are too rigid restricting innovation and creativity. It is also based upon the recognition that there are many contexts in which restorative processes can be applied, there is a growing variety of restorative processes and that critically the process must fit the needs, capabilities and cultures of diverse participants.
