Working with hate crime offenders

This paper discusses the experience of the ADAPT programme for perpetrators of racially motivated offences. It argues that lessons can be drawn from the content of the programme and its evaluation that are particularly relevant in a context in which xenophobic resentment has acquired an air of political legitimacy, following the EU referendum in Britain and the election of Donald Trump. The paper suggests the kinds of evaluation of such programmes which may be helpful, and that the current political context may require practitioners not only to work with the immediate issues of offending but to become involved more broadly in educational and political interventions.
