Title: Hate Crime
Author(s): Nathan Hall
Date Published: 2005
Annotation: Intended for criminal justice practitioners and students, this book addresses the need to effectively respond to hate crime by examining various aspects of hate crime from a predominantly British perspective while retaining a comparative international element.
Abstract: Hate crimes are complex events to investigate. The impacts they have on communities are far reaching. The way the investigation is handled can be crucial to ways in which policing is viewed by the community. This book highlights the complexities of hate crime, the extent of our understanding of these, and the implications for effectively responding to the hate crime problem currently being faced. It looks in detail at the meaning and realities of hate crime, the ways the police and the wider criminal justice system have responded and at the policies and practices now being adopted. The book is divided into 12 chapters. Chapter 1 examines the social construction of hate crime. Chapter 2 examines the origins of prejudice and hatred. Chapter 3 examines the history of hate crime and the rise of hate crime. Chapter 4 examines the evidence that underpins many of the claims by considering the extent, nature, and impact of hate crime victimization. Chapter 5 considers the perpetrators of hate crime. Chapter 6 focuses on “extreme” hatred. Chapter 7 focuses on the regulation of hate crimes. Chapter 8 examines the various hate-based legislative provisions related to hate crimes. Chapter 9 considers the policing of hate crime focusing on New York and Philadelphia. Chapter 10 examines the policing of hate crime in London, England. Chapter 11 examines many of the key problems and challenges that the police service faces when policing hate crimes. Chapter 12 examines both the role and the limitations of the wider criminal justice system in responding to hate crime. The book concludes with what was learned and questions both the nature of hatred and the response to it. Appendix and references
