Abstract

PURPOSE OF COURSE Since the mid 1990s with the passage of the Hate Crimes Statistics Act, the term has become standard in our everyday speech. But what is a hate crime and is it really new? Can a crime be a and not involve hatred? This course will answer these questions, while exploring what differentiates hate crimes from other types of crime. We will encounter various types of violence including lynchings, genocides, and gay bashing, and we will examine such questions as why one group is targeted versus another and what type of people commit these acts. One of the foci of the class will be to place hate crime within the broader context of intergroup antagonism (e.g., prejudice, ethnic violence, etc.).
