Rezensionen / Stimmen
'Hate crimes are a global problem and a serious human rights challenge that require a comprehensive response from governments and other stakeholders wherever they occur. This Handbook is an important new tool in the formulation of policies to combat hate crime, offering the latest thinking from top experts on the nature, incidence and impact of hate crime, as well as an honest account of the progress made and challenges that remain in law enforcement, criminal justice, and other policy responses to these crimes and the intolerance in which they are rooted.' - Paul LeGendre, Human Rights First, USA
'You do not have to agree with all the conclusions of the experts who contributed to this important book to recognize that it is an invaluable tool for officials who help set policy vis-a-vis hate crimes, as well as the frontline officers who have to deal with the impact of hate on diverse communities.' - Rabbi Abraham Cooper, Associate Dean of the Simon Wiesenthal Center, USA
