Sommario/riassunto |
|
The impression often conveyed by the media about hate crime offenders is that they are hate-fuelled individuals who, in acting out their extremely bigoted views, target their victims in premeditated violent attacks. Scholarly research on the perpetrators of hate crime has |

|
|

|
|
begun to provide a more nuanced picture. But the preoccupation of researchers with convicted offenders neglects the vast majority of hate crime offenders that do not come into contact with the criminal justice system. This book, from a leading author in the field, widens understanding of hate crime by demonstrating that many offenders are ordinary people who offend in the context of their everyday lives. Written in a lively and accessible style, the book takes a victim-centred approach to explore and analyse hate crime as a social problem, providing an empirically informed and scholarly perspective. Aimed at academics and students of criminology, sociology and socio-legal studies, the book draws out the connections between the individual agency of offenders and the background structural context for their actions. It adds a new dimension to the debate about criminalising hate in light of concerns about the rise of punitive and expressive justice, scrutinizing the balance struck by hate crime laws between the rights of offenders and the rights of victims. |

A significant global transformation must take place in order to increase food production by 70% by 2050, a figure the UN's Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) estimates is needed to feed the world's future population. This is not an easy task, however, as agriculture is faced with a number of major challenges. Therefore, it is important that issues regarding food security, stability, sustainability, investment, innovation, multi-stakeholder partnerships, governance, etc., are addressed. The International Agricultural Risk, Finance, and Insurance Conference (IARFIC) aims to facilitate impor |
