Study of Literature and Legislation on Hate Crime in America.

摘要

This report presents a summary and analysis of literature and legislation addressing hate crime in the United States. Our review and analysis responds to the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) request for the identification of significant current issues, evidence of effective practices and innovative responses, and gaps in the law and research regarding hate and bias crime. Recognizing inadequacies in statistical reporting on hate crime and limited research on relevant criminal justice policies and practices, this review is intended to provide the DOJ's National Institute of Justice (NIJ) with information to aid in the development of a program of research and evaluation.
