Even though Hate Crimes have been around in the past, and have been most
certainly been more violent in the past. Hate Crimes are most certainly still a
problem in today's society, but it is not dealt with the same violent manner as
previously performed in the past. There are still violent acts done out of hate,
but the battle has been a lot more words. Hate crimes are a serious problem in
today's society.
In this paper, three topics will be discussed. (1) What are Hate Crimes,
(2) Examples of Hate Crimes, and (3) Reasons for Hate Crimes.
Hate Crimes are crimes done out of severe anger, ignorance, and lack of
knowledge about other's ideas and beliefs. Racism is a belief that one or more
races is superior to others. Prejudice is prejudging others. "Gordon Alport, a
professor at Emeritus of Psychology at Harvard University and an expert at
prejudism defines prejudice as.. `a hostile attitude toward a person who belongs
to a group, simply because he belong to that group, and therefore presumes to
have the objectable qualities ascribed to that group'(Lang)23"
The most common way prejudice works is by stereotyping people, that is
putting everyone form the same ethnic group together and assuming they all have
the same negative characteristics or behave in the same way. This does not only
apply to ethnic groups but also applies to race, religion, and other minorities.
Hate crimes are so hard to count because it is not certain whether a
crime is being committed out of hate.
