keep a close eye on racial Issues. Even though our way of punishing people for these crimes are ineffective and very unfair. Most laws are written to determine whether the person intentionally selected their victim or if it was a random act. The hate crime laws in California's, for example, says that any crime retaining to a certain race or even religious group, will ultimately call for harsher punishment to the criminal. There have even been a few times were people want to include violence against police a hate crime. (McLaughlin, 2017) Criminals who commit hate crimes target their victims, whether randomly or planned out. A few years ago, in Charleston SC, there was a young white male believed to be in some sort of white supremist group, walked into a predominantly black church and randomly opened fire before leaving. Police found the man and brought him into custody, a few weeks later he was sentenced to a few months in prison and is now on with his life. So, for discouraging racial influence on people would clearly have to start at an earlier age, to prevent further hate crimes would mean that we would need to teach young children the dangers of committing racially charged crimes. In New York, multiple bomb threats were called into Jewish communities, and group of lawmakers in that state pushed to secure more help to those victims of hate crimes. The hate crime legislation, recently passed by the democratic party, made an offense that if you were making graffiti, then it

‘Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me’ (The Christian Recorder). This is the infamous saying that many have heard since they were young. With vastly growing technology today, face to face bullying is being replaced with what is known as ‘cyberbullying’. Cyberbullying is defined as, “an aggressive intentional act carried out by a group or individual using electronic forms of contact repeatedly and over against a victim who cannot easily defend him or herself” (WebMD). It can take place using cell phones, computers, tablets, social media sites, text messaging, and/or chat rooms. Cyberbullying has become a growing awareness nationwide, prompting lawmakers to act and propose new laws making cyberbullying a

The United States FBI defines hate crimes as “a traditional offense like murder, arson, or vandalism with an added element of bias.” This type of bigotry-driven crime has been a huge issue in the area of politics and justice ever since history began. Such crimes have become increasingly visible over the years due to the advances in technology, and social networking sites that have given a new platform to these issues. As the visibility of hate crime conditions become commonplace, they also become easily identifiable in everyday life. The issue that then arises is that these conditions have not yet become illegal to the degree that they should be held to. Hate crimes should be held at a higher penalty, at the federal level, due to the nature and intent of the crime at hand.

3). These findings stated that 92 percent were offences that the police found to be motivated by hate, and eight percent of the offences fell into the specific categories in the criminal code (p. 4) This report showed that the top three categories for motivation for the hate crimes, in order, were: race/ethnicity, religion, and sexual orientation (p. 5). In terms of race, black individuals were the most common victims of hates crime (p. 14). The religion that faced the highest amount of hate crime against them was Judaism. Lastly, for sexual orientation the most common victims were 25 years of age and below and males. Along with these facts, this report also established that for race and religion the highest number of offenders were in the age category of “under 18”. The highest number of offenders for the sexual orientation category were from 45 to 54 years old (p. 13).

Hate violence refers to crimes that are directed against families, persons, organizations, or groups due to their ethnic, racial, sexual, religious identities, orientations or conditions of disability (Whitlock & Bronski, 2016). Accordingly, hate violence included crimes of arson at the business or homes, damage and destruction of religious property, personal assaults, homicides, and cross burnings. In the United States, hate violence has a long history. However, although it might be challenging to assess and estimate the prevalence of this kind of hate in the United States, there are clear indications that the problem has increased in recent years (Whitlock & Bronski, 2016). Connectively,

Whilst hate crime has been represented in the media and legislation for many years, particularly in the US, definitions of the term have been transient and changing. The Home Office issued a report in 2013 which demonstrated to both the public and law enforcement officials the most recent formal definition of ‘hate crime’ in the United Kingdom: “any criminal offence which is perceived, by the victim or any other person, to be motivated by a hostility or prejudice towards someone based on a personal characteristic” (Home Office, 2013). Reviewing statistics on hate crime in the United Kingdom, it becomes clear that there are two main official sources for data; the Crime Survey for England and Wales, and crime recorded by the police. Based on combined data from the CSEW 2011/12 and 2012/13, there was an estimated 278,000 hate crimes taken place on average each year (Home Office, 2013). However, when compared with the data shown by police recorded crime, there are huge disparities. Between 2012/13, only 42,236 incidents of hate crime were recorded by police, which accounts for approximately 1% of all recorded crime (Home Office, 2013).

Hate crime affects over 50 percent of Hispanic or Latino populations in the United States. Over the years, hate crimes has increased causing fear, inferiority and physical injury that in some cases end with the death of the victims. Immigration policies, communities and individual immigrants are most common causes of bias crime. In this research paper I focus more in the victims of hate crime than offenders. My independent variable is Immigrant's background and my dependent variable is the crime is not being reported. Hate crimes are more likely to happen in multivariables states where there is a variety of cultures and ethnicity. (Carbone, Rosenfeld & Stacey, 2011)

In South Carolina, I felt devastated for the innocent people that died in Charleston church by an unknown gunman. It is unbelievable how some people in America holds racism deeply scared in their hearts. And that this hate could still exist. Not only this issue still exists but it also worries other people’s family because of horrible incidents that keeps happening. It makes America quite an unsafe country to live into. One of the police described the attack at the Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church as a "hate crime”. In my opinion, I think hate crimes should be criminalised because without it the acts of hate will lead to disaster. As the world is becoming one global village, violence are becoming very common. Unless hate crimes are

In recent years, especially with extremely large spread of social networks came to the widespread use of hate speech. We can not make a difference, whether it is hate speech, hate crime or any other form of discrimination. Legislation in this area is not clear, because social networks typically remain outside the laws so that confuses institutions that should decide on such items.

As time goes on and technological advances are made, cyberbullying has become a common and very heavily discussed topic. Not only is this a prevalent issue in our society, but also a personal one as I have faced many difficult situations in dealing with being cyberbullied. A primary reason for discussing the importance of educating parents on cyberbullying is the effect it can have on the entire family system. Cyberbullying differs from general bullying because it is through technological means and does not stop when the child goes home. The negative effects of cyberbullying are abundant; thus, it would be beneficial for parents to receive proper education on creating awareness, advocating, and preventing cyberbullying in their adolescent’s life.

Bullying has always been a prevalent issue among society, especially within adolescence. However, cyberbullying in specific, is becoming more intense and harmful as the use technology increases. Unfortunately, bullies target those who are different among society, such as individuals who are different in race, religion, language, and sexual orientation. Bullying is no longer stemmed from school and left there, kids are bringing these unnecessary things home with them through the use of social media. These behaviors from bullies are preventing the victims to exceed their full potential in school, extra-circular activities, and being who they are in general. Now that most individuals use social media, they are able to see who is being

In recent times, with the increasing use of technology today the presence of hate groups is becoming bigger and inescapable. The web has created a platform for individuals to speak out that normally would not. In the article, “The Online Disinhibition Effect,” by John Suler explains that the online disinhibition effect occurs when people say things they normally would not say in their daily interactions. The internet has allowed individuals to separate their action online from their in-person, essentially creating two identities giving them the chance to disclose and act out (Suler). Online an individual has the chance to be invisible and go unnoticed, but it also gives one the power to control interactions. So, one can cope with another’s immediate reactions on their own time, not real time.
