Sommario/riassunto |
|
In the early-1980s, the US Congress and many state legislatures passed a wave of ""hate crime"" laws requiring the collection of statistics on, and enhancing punishments for, crimes motivated by certain prejudices. This book places the evolution of the hate crime concept in socio-legal perspective. |
