Open publisher page 0 citations

Abstract

The purpose of this course is to examine the roles of sex and gender in understanding hate crimes. We will examine the effects of sex and gender through looking at (1) the definition of hate crimes, (2) the causes of hate crimes, (3) the societal attitudes about and responses to hate crimes, and (4) the criminal processing system (e.g. police and courts) response to hate crimes. It is likely that they type of hate crime that will receive the most focus is hate crimes committed against lesbians and gays. The course is designed to assess hate crimes against women, people of color, Jewish people, and others, as well. The students will be expected to examine how sex and gender intersect with face, sexuality, religion, and class in the occurrence and processing of hate crimes.
