Hate Crimes: Criminal Law and Identity Politics (Studies in Crime and Public Policy)

by JamesB.Jacobs (Author), KimberlyPotter (Author)

Synopsis

An in-depth critique of the USA's dominant political and legal response to hate crime in the STUDIES IN CRIME AND PUBLIC POLICY series. The fallacious construction of hate crime epidemics by politicians and the media is considered, and it is argued that the laws created in response to such prejudicial views can be regarded as symbolic politics.
