Improving police response: The case for a police-centric approach to hate crime training
In recent years, scholars have linked the (in)effectiveness of police response to hate crime to the quality of training received by officers. While some have critiqued police training for being insufficient, inadequate and thus ineffective, making suggestions for improvements, few studies have examined the effect of changes to training on the experiences of officers. In this article, we examine the evolution of hate crime training in Nottinghamsh…
Aligning police practice with hate crime theory: The case for using risk assessments to improve police response to victims of hate
In England and Wales, police forces have been urged to improve their response to victims. Despite this, many victims continue not to report to police, and those that do often report distrust and dissatisfaction with police response. Across the hate crime strands, victims have little confidence in the capacity of police to act empathetically, to respond to hate crime effectively, or to take hate crime victimisation seriously. In this paper, we arg…
Investigating hate crime: Law enforcement decision making in race based hate crimes
In recent decades, a growing number of police services in Canada have stressed commitments to protecting vulnerable communities from violence and intimidation and by combating hate crime. In 2020, the number of hate crimes reported to police in Canada increased by 37% to the highest number ever recorded. While social science research in several national contexts has examined the policing of hate crime, few studies have examined how police investi…
Documenting Contact and Thinking with Skin: A Dermatological Approach to the Study of Police Street Checks
In contrast to quantitative studies that rely on numerical data to highlight racial disparities in police street checks, this article offers a qualitative methodology for examining how histories of anti-Blackness configure civilians’ experiences of present-day policing. Taking the Halifax Street Checks Report as our primary object of analysis, we apply an innovative dermatological approach, demonstrating how skin itself becomes meaningful when po…
Hate crime, policing, and the deployment of racial and cultural diversity
This paper examines how diversity is mobilized and deployed as a form of hate crime response in the York Regional Police Service, and how commitments to racial and cultural diversity embedded in the framework of hate crime policy are interpreted by police officers engaged in the frontline policing of hate crimes. Hate crime policies and specialized training programs in Ontario were developed around two central foci: 1) traditional policing concer…
