Violence And Hate Crime And Violence Through Intercultural Praxis, Education, And Socially Responsible Actions

Society has been facing many difficulties for the past years that are contributing to the expansion of violence. In order to understand why some people practice violence behavior, it is extremely important to know and understand about the cycle of violence. According to Chauhan and Widom (2014), the cycle of violence can be defined as follow; the act that an individual who was previously physically, mentally and/or emotionally abused will repeat the same maltreatment to another person (s) in the future. In some words, the cycle of violence support the idea that people who were abused in any way when they were

Hate crime has been an ongoing issue in America. The Federal Bureau of Investigation report released in 2014 recorded 5928 hate crimes and 7242 victims. Hatred and antagonism are not new to American society; it’s only getting worse and more ingrained gradually. It is striking to know that the communities America has alienated, such as African Americans and women, have always been integral elements in its society. To better comprehend victimization, the subsequent aspects will be analyzed: ethnicity and religion.

Referring to the FBI’s data in 2013, it reveals that about 48.5% of all reports that were classified as hate crimes were motivated by race (Brunker par.9). Racial attacks usually involve intimidation, vandalism, and assault to the opposite race (Crime Museum par.4). However according to the FBI Uniform Crime Reports the average amount of hate crimes between races has declined progressively (Brunker par.15). Unfortunately, hate groups are still a huge problem in today’s society, but the government is reacting in a more serious matter against these events

One of the major problems that we are facing in the world are hate crimes. Despite this being a major issues, there appears to be no solution in sight to put a stop to hate crimes. For this paper I chose to focus on hate crimes I can gain more knowledge about this topic and because it 's something that I have personally experienced. Throughout U.S. history, a significant proportion of all murders, assaults, and acts of vandalism have been fueled by hatred. As Native Americans have been described as the first hate crime victims, members of all immigrant groups have been subjected to discrimination, harassment, and violence.

Almeida et al. (2010) found significant support for the claim that recent first-generation immigrants are not violent, but that, over time, there is some process of acculturation whereby immigrants eventually reach the violence levels of those who have been in the United States for longer periods of time. This finding suggests that it would be pointless for criminal justice policy to act upon the idea of the violent recent immigrant, as such an idea is a myth. Rather, criminal justice policy should focus on the identification of reasons why recent immigrants become more violent over time. If such reasons are identified, then policy steps can be taken to disrupt the process of acculturation to violence.

The chapters that are being reviewed in this analysis, chapters five, six, and seven, are far more explanatory about the pattern of semi-recent violent acts and the basis of human nature than the previous four chapters.

What causes people to be or become violent is the question that I should address first. For some time, some 20-30 years ago, everyone believed crime and murder was left for underdeveloped and uncivilized lands. It is recognised now that this is not the case. In terms of social causes, there are plenty: how their family bonds, the person’s own characteristics, their development as a child,

For ages, our society has dealt with constant controversies about what is right and what is wrong. In these debates, conflicting perspectives are often exposed to many. People are often taught to permit any different viewpoints, but in reality, continuous acceptance leads to more harm than good. The tolerance of others is essential in our society; however, the line of acceptance is drawn when one’s differences promotes physical violence.

Responding to Hate Crime: A multidisciplinary curriculum has few strengths and several weaknesses. The strengths of the curriculum are

Hate is the main reason for violence in our culture. The reason being is because hate drives the people to cause trouble and make our culture as violent as it is right now. Not only that, but things such as cops killing for no reason and recently terrorist attacks is making it worst every single day. It doesn’t even have to be a huge thing, things such as robberies, muggings, and rapes are things that don’t get much attention but are huge impacts in adding more violence in our culture. While groups of people are trying to spread this to be more known and try to spread happiness while trying to give out positivity as well, the amount doesn’t add up to the “bad” in this world. Although it’s getting pretty close to being equal if not more, people

Gender violence is a recurring issue we see cross culturally, especially in societies with a patriarchal background. Violence against women can be found both on the micro (i.e. close relationships) and macro level (i.e. institutions), however here we will be focusing on the macro, which is structural violence against women. In the book Violence and Culture: A Cross-Cultural and Interdisciplinary Approach by Jack Eller, the author defines structural violence as the social arrangements embedded in the political and economic aspect of one's society that puts those of a certain group (i.e. gender, class, race, etc.) in harm's way and may also benefit another. This essay will prove how there are commonalities in ideas of violence against women

If there was observable increase in crime in a particular community which results in an increase in burglaries, auto theft and asset, and robbery, one could attribute the rise in crime to the social conflict theory. The social conflict theory is defined as a “Marco-oriented paradigm in sociology that views society as an arena of inequality that generates conflict and social change.” (study.com) Main points in this theory focus on the idea that society is structured to be beneficial to a monody, supported by the contributions of the majority. For those who share the social conflict theory, there is a deep rooted belief that a caste system exists which a dominate group is in conflict with the minority group.

Goals of this paper are to discuss the conflict model and the consensus paradigm and explain the relation they have to crime. An in depth description of hate crimes that falls under the violent crime typology will be given and references to a few high profile cases that relate to this focused crime will be assessed. A consensus interpretation in regards to the strain theory will be elaborated upon, and then an interpretation based on the conflict paradigm will be offered.

Structural violence can come from individual, social and political bearings. Although structural violence is not derived from anyone

The ‘Structural Violence’ concept by Galtung (1969) asserts that the structure and culture in societies are a central facet on the explanation of violence; thus, ‘human beings are being influenced so that
