Hate crime, an enduring issue, has only recently gained prominence in political and policy discussions, especially post-September 11th, when a significant rise in related incidents highlighted this concern. An edited volume consisting of 11 papers, it navigates the complexities of defining hate crimes and analyzes various responses, addressing conceptual gaps and challenges faced by law enforcement. The work underscores crucial relations between hate crimes and human rights, advocating for broader perspectives such as restorative justice in addressing these societal issues.
