Sommario/riassunto |
|
Whether one believes hate crimes represent acts committed against entire communities, thus justifying penalty enhancement, or that the law should make no distinction between bias crimes and ordinary crimes, Hate Crimes is a useful guide through the various issues related to this complex topic. Striving to be as objective as possible, this volume provides students and general readers with the resources necessary to define, understand, and research one of the most contentious topics in the United States today. |
