CRIMES OF THE COMMUNITY
Honour-based violence in the UK
By James Brandon and Salam Hafez
The Centre for Social Cohesion — a Civitas project. £15.00
ISBN 978-1-903386-64-4
Available from http://www.civitasonline.org.uk

Be warned. This is a revealing, disturbing book based on over 80 interviews, many with victims of honour-based crime.

The Centre for Social Cohesion wants to ‘... bring Britain’s ethnic and religious communities closer together...’. This is probably the most comprehensive study of honour-based violence ever conducted in the UK. Its main findings are worth looking at.
