Product Description
Review
"Informative."
-Choice
"[A] must read for scholars and policymakers."
-Valerie Jenness, University of California, Irvine
""In the Name of Hate is an ambitious undertaking which represents a painful reality in the wake of the national tragedy of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks against the United States. While published prior to that date, this work adds a rather unique dimension to the scholarship on power and institutionalized discrimination and has global as well as domestic implications."
-Journal of Sociology and Social Welfare
Product Description
This work offers a comprehensive theory of hate crimes and discusses the legal definitions that most states in the US hold. The book presents cases of hate crime that shocked the world in the late 20th and early 21st-century, cases such as Matthew Shephard, Billy Jack Gaither, Columbine, and Jonesboro. The author also provides a historical understanding of hate crimes and examines the misrepresented inter-ethnic violence including the Asian and African-American community.
