In a contemporary setting of increasing social division and
marginalisation, Policing Hate Crime interrogates the complexities
of prejudice motivated crime and effective policing practices. Hate
crime has become a barometer for contemporary police relations with
vulnerable and marginalised communities. But how do police
effectively lead conversations with such communities about problems
arising from prejudice? Contemporary police are expected to be
active agents in the pursuit of social justice and human rights by
stamping out prejudice and group-based animosity. At the same time,
police have been criticised in over-policing targeted communities
as potential perpetrators, as well as under-policing these same
communities as victims of crime. Despite this history, the demand
for impartial law enforcement requires police to change their
engagement with targeted communities and kindle trust as priorities
in strengthening their response to hate crime. Drawing upon a
research partnership between police and academics, this book
entwines current law enforcement responses with key debates on the
meaning of hate crime to explore the potential for
misunderstandings of hate crime between police and communities, and
illuminates ways to overcome communication difficulties. This book
will be important reading for students taking courses in hate
crime, as well as victimology, policing, and crime and community.
