Hate-Motivated Violence in America
Punishing Hate
While first implemented in the 1980s, hate crime legislation remains divisive in America; yet, most research examining differences in support for hate crime laws was conducted decades ago. This research addresses this gap by examining individual differences in support for hate crime laws using information from 3,503 survey respondents across the U.S. The results indicate that most respondents (66%) support hate crime laws, and that only roughly 1…

Following this, this research examines the relationship between weapon use, bias motivation, and victimization in the United States. On one hand, weapons may pla…
