    Victims In A Hate Crime Analysis

    Who are the victims in a hate crime? Victimization does not end with the primary person that was attacked. The Laramie Project demonstrated how the entire community, and eventually the nation, of a little town in Wyoming was affected by the death of 22 year old Matthew Shepard in October, 1998. Secondary victims, who do not bear the physical pain, but endure the after effects and emotional pain, included Matthew’s parents, Deputy Sheriff Reggie Fluty (who was called to the crime scene and tended to Matthew), and Doctor Cantway (who treated both Matthew and one of his attackers, Aaron McKinney) (Karmen, 2013). The effects of this hate crime saturated a society and called more than morals into question. Incidents like these force humanity to look at itself and criticize its core beliefs. Laramie’s motto of “Live and Let Live” applied to most…

    The Influence Of Hate Crimes

    As a young adult, I believe I am more likely to be persuade by a community leader than a school administrator or police chief because a community leader is not necessary an authority figure. If I was a hate crime offender I feel like I am more likely to trust someone who is not in my view an authority figure such as a peer or a community leader. If I was a community leader my plan to decrease hate crimes will be community meetings regarding the issue, I would try to encourage parents and their children to attend the meetings since offenders tend to be young males. It is important to talk to these families and help them understand the impact that hate crimes causes on the victims and other people that share something in common with the victims…

    Hate Crimes In America

    For many years America has encountered different hate crimes. During the twentieth-century the law changed and evolved into a mechanism to protect civil rights. When race protection became the primary focus, the direction of the law changed to protect all races from discrimination. African-Americans were the primary race that was affected by racial violence from the Ku Klux Klan (Perry, 2009). This issue was very devastating and this drew a lot of attention to the Supreme Court. The changes that were made were based off the hate crimes that were present at the moment, so the Supreme Court enhanced the punishments involving hate crimes. This protected many people from being discriminated against and from any acts of racial violence. Restrictions…
