Hate Crimes Then And Now

Recently, in a response to an increase in violence, the state of Wisconsin passes a law that enhances the penalty for any offense committed against a victim where the crime is committed because of hatred for the victim’s race, sex, or religion. Prior to discussing whether or not this penalty enhancement violates the civil jurisdiction given to the state from God; one must first provide the foundation of the jurisdiction of the state from the biblical principles. First, Christ recognizes that God has all authority “Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God” Roman 13:1 (King James Online). In addition, Christ recognizes jurisdiction “and Jesus answering said unto them, Render to Caesar the

In Hate crimes, by Donald Altschiller chapter five is an about & Data and Documents. There is some extensive list of websites which is using for hate crimes, such as Media savvy which is organized by hate group and the other online groups called USENET. The subject was about hate crimes and Ku Klux Klan. According to known, the most visited website name is a Stormfront who belonged to Don black.

Within the next five years, two cases would gain media attention and spark activist movements across the nation that would lead to expansion of the existing hate crime laws. My recollection of these two cases is pretty vivid, although I was pretty young at the time; I was inquisitive in nature and tended to watch the evening news with my parents:

After the three young Caucasians male was arrested for assaulting and murder Mr. Anderson in 2009, there has been recent relative new on other racial hate crimes in different areas of the United States. In Charleston, South Carolina at Emmanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church on June 17, 2015, Dylan Roof, 21 sat in the church bible study for nearly an hour and open fires.

Which ethnic group of individuals does it seem that most hate crime is committed against?

The Klu Klux Klan, one of the most recognised hate groups in US history, was founded in 1865. They were under the impression that people of color were less valuable than white people, some even believing that they weren't human. Something people don’t realize is that groups like that are still around today, and just as active as ever. Hate groups, and just random unorganised hate crimes are just as real as me and you, and they are still an active threat. Hate Crime is relevant, and as a society, we should be doing our best to snuff out the flames of prejudice and resentment that burn in the hearts of anyone willing to participate in such unjust behavior. This kind of activity is not only hurtful emotionally, but sometimes, it turns to violence. Innocent people getting picked off the street simply because of their beliefs, who they love, or the color of their skin. This is something that nobody should stand for, especially now, in this constantly progressing world. All in all, Hate Crimes are a real problem, and in order to stop injustice such as this, we need to work together as human beings to accept people, regardless of who they are.

South Carolina’s hands seem to be filled with a surplus of judgment and resentment for how things are run in varying parts of the country; but yet neglect the issues that hit home. While South Carolina legislation is busy worrying about letting “murderers, rapists, and criminals” through our borders, they are blind to the murderers, rapists, and criminals in our own state. Two counties in South Carolina are included in the top 30 dangerous areas in America along with holding the ranking of seventh in America’s most criminal state which has gradually climbed the rank since 2012. Causation for such a high crime rate stems from an equally as terrifying statistic. Almost 19% of South Carolina citizens live under the poverty line, nearly 1 in

The author exhibits a liberal bias, he shows this by bringing to the reader's attention to the fact that republican officials are denying that the Orlando Pulse Massacre had anything to do with LGBT individuals or that Pulse was even an LGBT club. Park uses statistics from multiple studies, and cites people who have contributed to this research, like Gregory M. Herek, a psychology professor from UC Davis, and Roger Coggan, the director of legal services at the LA LGBT Center. Following his statistics, Park uses numerous examples of different hate crimes from across the nation to support his claim. He uses

In 1939, WWII began when Adolf Hitler invaded Poland, causing 6 million Jewish people to fear for their lives. First,all citizens,German and Jew alike had to complete a Cencus about their race religion and ancestry. Second,all people had to carry ID cards,and the Jewish people had to wear the Star of David.

Chapter 7 pertains to victims of violence and who they are. I was informed about the legal rights of violent crime victims, such as the general list of victim rights that stemmed from the Crime Victims Assistance Act of 1988. I also learned about the different types of hate crimes and the consequences of hate crime victimization. Another point touched on in this chapter was crimes against the homeless and how environmental degradation is an act of violence. The section of this chapter that interested me the most was learning about the victims of violent sexual assault. Unfortunately the notion of victim blame seemed to be a recurring theme in this chapter and was a main point made when learning about the myths of rape against women.

Recent data has shown an increase in the number of hate crimes being committed within the United States. Hate groups also are mobilizing. This poses a problem for Americans.

Hate crimes are a violation of human rights and go against many laws.Additionally, “Upon sentencing for an offense, the provisions of Section 718.2 of the Criminal Code call for an increased sentence when hate is determined to be an aggravating circumstance” (R.S.C., 1985, c. C-46). To stop the progression of hatred and stop others from being mistreated hate crimes must be reported to the authorities. The law enforcement agency must know about any violence or hatred of homosexuality and bullying against anyone because of race, beliefs, or any type of issue of the sort so that they can reply appropriately. If you are a victim of hate crime or hate-motivated bullying no matter how simply you might feel it is it should be reported. There are laws that are in place to fight against these type of crimes.
