Is there a more terrifying image in the mind's eye than that of the burning cross? Punishing Hate examines the nature of bias-motivated violence and provides a foundation for understanding bias crimes and their treatment under the U.S. legal system. In this tightly argued book, Frederick Lawrence poses the question: Should bias crimes be punished more harshly than similar crimes that are not motivated by bias? He answers strongly in the affirmative, as do a great many scholars and citizens, but he is the first to provide a solid theoretical grounding for this intuitive agreement, and a detailed model for a bias crimes statute based on the theory. The book also acts as a strong corrective to recent claims that concern about hate crimes is overblown. A former prosecutor, Lawrence argues that the enhanced punishment of bias crimes, with a substantial federal law enforcement role, is not only permitted by doctrines of criminal and constitutional law but also mandated by our societal commitment to equality. Drawing upon a wide variety of sources, from law and criminology, to sociology and social psychology, to today's news, Punishing Hate will have a lasting impact on the contentious debate over treatment of bias crimes in America. 606 $aHate crimes$zUnited States 606 $aPunishment$xMoral and ethical aspects 606 $aDelictes d'odi$zEstats Units d'Amèrica$2lemac 606 $aPenes$zEstats Units d'Amèrica$xAspectes ètics i morals$2lemac 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aHate crimes 615 0$aPunishment$xMoral and ethical aspects. 615 7$aDelictes d'odi 615 7$aPenes$xAspectes ètics i morals 676 $a345.73025 700 $aLawrence$b Frederick M.$f1955-$0907767 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910454585903321 996 $aPunishing hate$92030527 997 $aUNINA
