OBJECTIVES
In this research paper, the aim of the scholar is to present the important facts about ‘Hate speech and communal violence’ and presenting important cases related to it and its prevalence in India. The aim of the project is to show the types of communal violence that are prevalent across the world. The project throws light on the various HATE SPEECH LAWS IN INDIA and COMMUNAL VIOLENCE BILL (PREVENTION, CONTROL AND REHABILITATION OF VICTIMS) BILL, 2005. The aim and objective of the project is to enlighten the readers as well as myself upon the kinds of speeches that qualify as hate speeches and the various communal violence that have been carried on since ages known.
STATEMENT OF PROBLEM
Communal violence threatens the secular fabric, unity, integrity and internal security of a nation. Despite the secular and religiously tolerant constitution of India, broad religious representation in various aspects of society including the government, the active role played by autonomous bodies such as National Human Rights Commission of India and National Commission for Minorities, and the ground-level work being out by Non-governmental organizations, sporadic and sometimes serious acts of religious violence tend to occur as the root causes of religious violence often run deep in history, religious activities, and politics of India.

    Within the legal framework of hate crimes it is important to be familiar with the laws that regulate its status. Over the past twenty to thirty years hate crimes laws saw an exponential increase with a number of laws being introduced which adhere to the principle that crimes motivated by hatred or prejudice towards particular features of the victim’s identity should be treated differently from ‘ordinary’ crimes. Perhaps one of the most recognisable and most significant piece of legislation is the Crime and Disorder Act 1998. Within this act if somebody commits one of the many offences on the list (see Table 1.1) and in turn demonstrates, or was motivated by, hostility on the grounds of race, then that offences becomes a separate ‘aggravated’…

    In 1959 a documentary was produced entitled The Hate that Hate Produced which took a look at the Islamic nation and their feelings towards white people. The program was televised and broadcasted over New York television stations for the entire city to see. Malcolm X wanted to go ahead with the broadcasting of the program but Elijah Muhammad was a bit more reluctant. He felt that this would bring unwarranted attention toward the nation Islam and he felt it would be counterproductive to their cause. Malcolm however felt that this would be a great way to expose the nation of Islam and invite new members who felt they did not want to join the ongoing civil rights movement. Muhammad reluctantly agreed to the broadcast, but this would be the begging of the…

    A hate crime can be defined in two ways, by the legal definition and the criminological definition. The legal definition of a hate crime is a traditional offense like murder, arson, or vandalism with an added element of bias, a criminal offense against a person or property motivated in whole or in part by an offender's bias against a race, religion, disability, ethnic origin or sexual orientation. The criminological definition of a hate crime is a crime committed as an act of prejudice, or any hate incident which constitutes a criminal offence perceived by the victim or any other person, as being motivated by hate or prejudice.…

    Free speech is one of the most controversial and confusing of the amendments. Throw it into a college campus setting and it’s an extremely complex matter, especially when “Hate Speech” is involved. Many people have different views and definitions on what hate speech in tales, for instance in “Hate Speech on Campus”, Joseph S. Tuman, defines it as “Written or spoken words directed towards a particular group (typically although not exclusively a minority group) with the purpose or effect of verbally harassing and harming them” (413). A personal interpretation of hate speech is speech that attacks a person or group on the basis of race, religion, gender, or sexual orientation. With this being said, hate speech is a form of free speech. By removing, or writing codes…

    Four teenagers attacked a 13 year old boy because he admitted to be homosexual. The attackers were teenaged boys whose ages ranged from 14-16 years old. The boy who was attacked was named David and he was walking home from school when he was approached by his attackers. David claims that he did not know his attackers but they knew him. According to sociologists, it is common for victims of hate crimes to have been attacked by people they do not know. The attackers called David names like “Queer” and “Faggot” to relate to his sexual orientation. David was brutally beaten and was also threatened with a pocket knife to keep the beating a secret. This is considered a hate crime because a hate crime is generally considered a crime where one is discriminated against and victimized by his or her sexual orientation, disability, gender, ethnicity, religion, or national origin. In this specific hate crime, David was victimized by his sexual orientation which lead him to be brutally beaten and threatened. Being brutally beaten is common among hate crimes than any other crime.…

    It happens every day, people are made fun of, people are bullied and the bully-ers, and some people are just flat out victims of straight hate crimes that lead to death. “A Hate Crime is a criminal offense committed against persons, property or society that is motivated , in whole or in part, by an offenders bias against an individual’s or a group’s race, religion, ethnic/national origin, gender, age, disability or sexual orientation.” -IACP Definition. With the definition of a hate crime explained, hate crimes are offenses against society. The perpetrators have their eyes on not only a primary victim, yet everyone in the victims group – everyone perceived as different. The perpetrators impact not only the victims, group but society as a whole, breaking the bond that holds its people together. Victims are seen as different from what the “norm” of society needs in its everyday life. Actions from the perpetrator doesn’t happen very randomly, yet happens all around the world. What is an extremely interesting topic is hate crimes on the college campuses. I was somewhat surprised to see just how many incidents actually happen. According to Justice Department data, 12 percent of hate crimes take place on college or school campuses but the numbers don’t show how much occurs on university campuses. Officials also say that many of the racial or sexual incidents are commonly not reported. The most common hate crimes committed on a college campuses are racial bias, religious bias, and sexual orientation bias.…

Hate crimes are defined as a criminal action acted upon on a specific person from a protected class. These acts can be either an assault or vandalism or the use of a dangerous weapon which causes bodily harm to an individual.

Joseph Ileto was covering a shift for another co-worker consequently, he was at the wrong place at the wrong time. Sadly, this isn’t the first time an innocent person was murdered because of someone’s bias towards a specific member of a protected…

    I feel that hate speech has already had a major effect on our country and needs to be put to an end. If a person feels comfortable enough to share comments about others that are violent and hateful, they may feel that it is ok to do harm to those individuals. In the news, there are many stories on hate speech that lead to hate crimes.…

    Hate Speech

    Since the adoption of the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, the concept of freedom of speech has constantly been challenged. Outside of school grounds, many would argue that hate speech is nevertheless free speech and therefore should not be regulated. However, providing an equal educational opportunity for all has become the issue when the question of what constitutes hate speech is brought to college campuses. In light of recent verbal attacks by students against their peers on college campuses, many universities have sought to regulate hate speech. Nonetheless, although we have to recognize that it is impossible for the education system to solve every problem, it is important to consider how the classroom setting can help to address the problem of hate speech. Therefore, in my opinion, hate speech on college campuses should not be regulated but rather, it should be used as a platform to educate college students.…
