Abstract
Although restorative justice programs should not be seen as an alternative to extending current hate crime sanctioning legislation to sexual orientation / gender identity, they could represent a useful tool for combating the phenomena of under-recording and under-reporting. Based on that, the article presents and discusses the main results of a recent study which investigated whether and how restorative justice can be used in the case of anti-LGBT hate crimes in Italy.
