Description
This issue takes an interdisciplinary approach to examine the harms of hate crime and hate speech. Working definitions are situated within the broader context of intergroup relations, prejudice, aggression, and law and social policy. Theory and research from social psychology, criminology, and legal studies are utilized to describe this context.
Several studies significantly contribute by including empirical observations of the impact of hate speech and hate crime
The studies that focus on the perpetrator add unique discussions regarding similar social attitudes between hate group members and ordinary youth in addition to crime motives of hate crime perpetrators
