IN THE NEWS New Volume on the Geography of Hate While much has been written about hate groups and extreme right political movements, this book will be the first that addresses the crucial role that place and context play in generating and shaping them. Ranging across geographical scales the essays start with the home, and then move from the local to the regional, to the national to-finally-the global. In this collection, much of the focus is on the U.S., as the contributors consider a variety of hate activity and hate groups across the country, including; rural white supremacist and neo-Nazi movements; anti-black sentiment directed towards cities; anti-gay activity in cities and rural areas and the resurgent Southern nationalist movement. Closing with pieces from those who combat hate activity, the intention of Spaces of Hate is to recognize specific geographic settings likely to foster hate activity. (Source:

Official definitions of hate crimes Facts about hate crimes Existing state and federal hate crime laws What makes a crime be considered as a hate crime? The FBI defines a hate crime (aka bias crime) to be " a criminal offense committed against a person, property or society which is motivated, in whole or in part, by the offender's bias against a race, religion, disability, sexual orientatio, or ethnicity/national origin. " Thus: If a thug beats up a randomly selected victim, the assault would not be considered a hate crime. If a person assaults a friend or acquaintance out of anger, the assault would not be a hate crime. If a thug beats up a victim who is a stranger and was selected because of their race, it would be a hate crime. If a person delivers a hate speech denigrating all Jews, or African-Americans, or gays, then this would not be considered a hate crime anywhere in the United States, because no criminal act has occurred. Hate speech is protected under the First Amendment However, existing federal legislation does not recognize as hate crimes those criminal acts which specifically target women, the disabled and homosexuals.

Extractions: By Patrick Yaeger In the Fall of 1987, Chuck Rosenfield and his boyfriend, both in their twenties, bought and moved into what they considered their share of the American dream. Theirs was a cape cod style four bedroom on a street sandwiched between, what was then, the separate cities of Shivley and Louisville in Jefferson County, Kentucky. They were thrilled with their new home together and began readying it for visiting friends and family. But when school let out for the Summer in 1988, a neighborhood gang of juveniles began trespassing through their property, sometimes looking in the windows. When the couple spoke up and asked the youth to stop, the intrusions only grew worse. Fences locked were climbed and damaged, a rock was thrown through the front window, and one youth even mentioned using a Molotov cocktail to 'burn them out'. Chuck and his partner began keeping a shotgun near the bed at night. When the Jefferson County Police were called regarding the vandalism, the officer who responded didn't seem sympathetic. âWell, you are two men living in a house together...,â Chuck recalls him saying. There was no investigation. They sold their dream home in the Spring of 1989.

A white juvenile male snatched a Jewish woman's purse, and in doing so, knocked her down and called her by a well-known and recognized epithet used against Jews. The offender's identity is not known. Although the offender used an epithet for Jews, it is not known whether he belongs to another religious group or whether his motive was anything more than robbery.
