Rehumanizing the harms of hate
The harms associated with hate crimes pose complex challenges for societies across the world. Rising interest within criminology and associated disciplines has highlighted the nature and prevalence of these offences, although the range of physical, emotional and structural harms remains under-explored. This is particularly evident within disadvantaged and disconnected communities, where experiences of hate crime can be trivialized and dehumanized…
Is there anywhere left that is not considered racist
To deny or dismantle? Responding to victims of targeted hostility in higher education
With the increasing diversification of higher education, the volume of targeted hostility that students are subjected to on the basis of their identities or perceived ‘differences’ has increased. Typically overlooked within conventional studies of hate crime, incidents of targeted victimisation within higher education are likely to mirror, if not exceed levels exhibited within broader society. Nonetheless, with an absence of robust research evide…
Dark Destinations
From the Alcatraz East Crime Museum and Jack the Ripper guided tours to the Phnom Penh killing fields, ‘dark tourism’ is now a multi-million-pound global industry. Even in the most pleasant tourist destinations, underlying harms are constantly perpetuated, affecting both consumers and those who work or live around such tourist hotspots. Highlighting 50 travel destinations across six continents, expert criminologists, psychologists and historians …

Responding to hate crime
The need for fresh responses to hate crime has become all the more apparent at a time when numbers of incidents have risen to record levels, both within the UK and beyond. Despite progress within the domains of scholarship and policy, these escalating levels of hate crime – and the associated increase in tensions, scapegoating and targeted hostility that accompanies such spikes – casts doubt over the effectiveness of existing measures and their c…
It Felt Like a Little War
This article examines the forms and impact of violence against people identifying as members of alternative subcultures. It draws upon the findings from interviews and focus groups undertaken with over 60 participants from a range of alternative subcultural backgrounds, conducted as part of a broader two-year study of many different strands of targeted hostility. The article presents evidence to show that 'alternatives' are subjected to a wide ra…
Islamophobia, Victimisation and the Veil
This book examines the experiences of veiled Muslim women as victims of Islamophobia, and the impact of this victimisation upon women, their families and wider Muslim communities. It proposes a more e
Rural Racism
© the Editors and contributors 2004. All rights reserved.Rural issues are currently attracting unprecedented levels of interest, with the debates surrounding the future of 'traditional' rural customs and practice becoming a significant political concern. However, the problem of racism in rural areas has been largely overlooked by academics, practitioners and researchers who have sought almost exclusively to develop an understanding of racism in u…
Reconceptualizing hate crime victimization through the lens of vulnerability and ‘difference’
This article suggests that the concepts of vulnerability and ‘difference’ should be focal points of hate crime scholarship if the values at the heart of the hate crime movement are not to be diluted. By stringently associating hate crime with particular strands of victims and sets of motivations through singular constructions of identity, criminologists have created a divisive and hierarchical approach to understanding hate crime. To counter thes…
The veil under attack
In the current climate, the veil is the key visual symbol of Islam. The veiled female body is central in the construction of discourses on the difference of the Muslim as ‘other’ with the non-Muslim ‘self’. The effect is that the multiple meanings of the veil are erased, and only one stands out: the veil as a symbol of gender inequality. This article explores the ways in which the visibility of the veil in the public gaze marks its wearers as par…
Beyond 'Passive Apartheid'? Developing Policy and Research Agendas on Rural Racism in Britain
Although problems facing minority ethnic households in rural areas have been largely overlooked within studies of 'race' and racism, an emerging body of research has begun to challenge 'problem-free' constructions of the countryside by illustrating the pervasiveness of racialised 'othering' in rural environments. In the context of a rapidly expanding minority ethnic rural population, images of the English countryside's 'white landscape' will bear…

In a world where issues of hatred and prejudice are creating complex challenges for society and for governments, this book provides an articulate and insightful overview of how such issues relate to crime and criminal justice. It offers comprehensive coverage, including topics such as: •Racist hate crime •Religiously motivated hate crime •Ho…
Protean times
Rural villages are often portrayed as problem-free, idyllic environments characterized by neighbourliness and cultural homogeneity. Drawing upon the growing body of research into issues of rural racism, this article challenges these prevailing notions by highlighting some of the problems associated with the increasing ethnic diversity of rural populations. The article begins by addressing the symbolic importance given to the English countryside b…
The new countryside
Recognising and Responding to Victims of Rural Racism
In recent decades policy-makers and academics have afforded increasing levels of recognition to the needs of victims of crime. However, much of this ‘new’ focus has centred upon urban environments, with only limited attention given to rural crime and victimisation. Significantly, even within the small body of rural-based work, the concerns of victims of racist harassment have been largely neglected. This article seeks to redress this situation by…
Hearing Lost Voices
This article addresses key methodological and ethical dilemmas faced by criminologists when investigating the experiences of minority ethnic households. The paper argues that by employing broad ethnic categories, such as ‘Black’ or ‘Asian’, when examining or discussing minority ethnic groups, statutory agencies can mask the specific concerns of those diverse ‘hidden’ communities that are subsumed under such umbrella classifications. The propensit…
Race’, Space and Place
Rural village communities in England are commonly portrayed as being neighbourly and close-knit, with villagers perceived as having a deep-seated sense of local identity complemented by strong feelings of belonging. This narrow view obscures, and marginalizes, the experiences of minority ethnic residents who can often feel excluded from village life. This article assesses whether the process of ‘othering’ that works to ostracize minority ethnic h…
Out of Sight, Out of Mind? Towards developing an understanding of the needs of ‘hidden’ minority ethnic communities
England's green and pleasant land? examining racist prejudice in a rural context
Popular constructions of rural England have perpetuated images of idyllic, problem-free environments that have largely masked the process of ‘othering’ that works to marginalize particular groups within rural society. Drawing on the findings of studies conducted in two rural English counties, Chakraborti and Garland assert that racist prejudice is very much part of the reality of rural living for minority ethnic groups whose presence in the count…
Countryside Alliance? An Assessment of Multi-Agency Responses to Racism in Rural Suffolk
An ‘Invisible’ Problem? Uncovering the Nature of Racist Victimisation in Rural Suffolk
The issue of racist victimisation in rural areas has been largely overlooked in academic and political circles, although there is growing evidence to suggest that the prevalence and impact of racism are significant problems for minority ethnic groups living in rural parts of England. This article aims to address the paucity of research conducted in the area by outlining the findings of a study conducted in rural parts of Suffolk (a county in the …
Research Note
Recent legislative, social and political developments in the UK have drawn attention to minority ethnic communities' experiences and perceptions of crime and the racialised discrimination suffered by such communities at various stages of the criminal justice system. This research note further explores these issues by discussing the findings of a study which examined the views of minority ethnic communities based in the predominantly rural English…
