This revised edition of "Bias Crime" reflects the increasing national concern with bias-motivated crimes. The concern has focused on the response to these crimes by police, legislatures, and the courts (sentencing). This new edition outlines the historic contexts of bias crime against gays and Jews in the Stonewall Riot and the Holocaust, respectively. The legal resolutions are discussed for both of these cases. Updated materials have also been added on David Duke's career, the Rodney King case, bias confrontations, and hate crimes on college campuses. The first section of the book, which deals with law enforcement responses, describes police efforts to form bias crime units and legislative efforts to address these crimes specifically in statutes. In a second, completely new section on legal responses a representative of the Anti-Defamation League discusses the legislation enacted to address bias crime, sentencing measures by the States, and the 1992 Supreme Court decision on hate crime. He includes the league's model legislation, which has been used as the basis for legislation in many States and provides the texts of the laws which the league and others have used in successfully prosecuting bias-motivated criminals.
