  • Summary

    Nations are offering billions of dollars in monetary redress to hundreds of thousands of people who experienced systemic abuse and neglect while in state care. This chapter introduces some of the social, legal, and political difficulties that this developing field of public policy confronts. Monetary redress programmes tend to be expensive, protracted, harmful to survivors, and exposed to damaging public criticism. Defining state redress as a field of public policy, this chapter introduces the cases studied, the book’s methodology, and the overarching prescriptive strategy of enabling survivor choice. Flexible redress programmes provide survivors with different pathways to redress; enabling survivors to select the processes that suit them best.

  • Investigating a fast-developing field of public policy, Stephen Winter examines how states redress injuries suffered by young people in state care. Considering ten illustrative exemplar programmes from Australia, Canada, Ireland, and Aotearoa New Zealand, Winter explores how redress programmes attempt to resolve the anguish, injustice, and legacies of trauma that survivors experience. Drawing from interviews with key stakeholders and a rich trove of documentary research, this book analyses how policymakers should navigate the trade-offs that survivors face between having their injuries acknowledged and the difficult, often retraumatising, experience of attaining redress. A timely critical engagement with this contentious policy domain, Winter presents empirically driven recommendations and a compelling argument for participatory, flexible, and survivor-focussed programmes.
