This two-volume edited collection showcases the work of leading scholars researching hate crime perpetration. It explores current research into hate crime perpetration, develops theoretical perspectives, and provides scholarly analysis of legal frameworks, policy responses and criminal justice practice. It seeks to understand how hate and intolerance manifest and are perpetrated.
This Volume (I) focuses on offender profiles and motivation while Volume II examines developing responses to hate in online and offline settings. Together they highlight links between different forms and arenas of hate crime offending and provide new perspectives on the nature of contemporary hate and intolerance, how it can be understood, and how it might be effectively tackled.
This two-volume collection contends that difference in all its forms can be targeted by vitriol and abuse across and beyond the recognised five strands of hate crime law and policy in England and Wales (racist, religiously motivated, homophobic, transphobic and disablist) alongside broader behaviours that underpin intolerance (such as scapegoating, stereotyping and microaggressions). These volumes bring together a range of perspectives to provide the readers be they students, academics, policy makers, practitioners or the general public with a comprehensive understanding of this topic.

Together they highlight links between different forms and arenas of hate crime offending and provide new perspectives on the nature of contemporary hate and intolerance, how it can be understood, and how it might be effectively tackled.
This two-volume collection contends that ‘difference’ in all its forms can be targeted by vitriol and abuse across and beyond the recognised ‘five strands’ of hate crime law and policy in England and Wales (racist, religiously motivated, homophobic, transphobic and disablist) alongside broader behaviours that underpin intolerance (such as scapegoating, stereotyping and microaggressions). These volumes bring together a range of perspectives to provide the readers – be they students, academics, policy makers, practitioners or the general public – with a comprehensive understanding of this topic.
