Reviews
'Is justice possible for survivors of child abuse in out-of-home care through monetary redress schemes? In his invaluable analysis of schemes across four nations, Winter identifies how governments should balance political, logistical and ethical values in deciding who should get redress, how much, for what harms, and on what evidence.' Frank Golding OAM, Federation University and Vice-President of the Care Leavers Australasia Network.
'Providing unique insight into how redress programmes operate and recommendations for more survivor-focussed responses, this is a must-read for policymakers and those tasked with designing monetary redress schemes.' Patricia Lundy, Ulster University.
'This bold and ambitious work succeeds in extracting what does and does not work in redress programmes. Policymakers designing future schemes, survivors, staff at redress boards and researchers will all benefit from Winter's informative and accessible research.' Johanna Skoeld, Linkoeping University.
'This is a thoughtful and illuminating book that deepens our understanding of the problems and promise of monetary redress programmes. Rich in detail, and broad in scope, it is a compelling account of how redress is done, and how programmes for survivors of abuse can be improved.' Elizabeth Stanley, Te Herenga Waka - Victoria University of Wellington.
