The Violence of Hate, Fourth Edition presents a systematic
introduction to issues related to the sociology and social
psychology of hate and violence as they target people who are
different in socially significant ways. It offers an integrated
perspective on the causes and consequences of hate-motivated
violence and the reasons we have not always been effective in
stopping it. Not only do the authors address the experiences of
racial, ethnic, and religious groups under attack, but also those
who are victimized because of their sexual orientation, gender,
gender-identity, age, or disability status. In addition, they
include a chapter dedicated solely to the exploration of hate
crimes, an evolving legal concept and public policy domain, as well
as a chapter in which they suggest approaches that may be
effectively applied collectively to the reduction of hate violence.
As in earlier versions of The Violence of Hate, Levin and Nolan
take the position that support for hate-motivated violence
originates not in the ranting and raving of a few bigoted
extremists at the margins of society but in the tacit approval of
ordinary, even decent, people who are located squarely in the
mainstream. Updates to the Fourth Edition: *Chapter 1: New
discussions of structural and cultural factors illustrated by the
racial conflicts in Ferguson Missouri, New York City, and
Baltimore. New presentation of the recent ADL survey indicating
degree of bigotry in more than 100 countries. New discussion of how
threatening situations inspire increases in hate violence against a
range of vulnerable groups. *Chapter 2: New chapter on hate
violence around the world involving the experiences of Roma in
Europe, sexual orientation and gender identity violence, and
anti-Semitic and anti-Islamic violence in European countries.
Includes discussions of violent responses to anti-Mohammed cartoons
in Europe and North America, sectarian violence in Northern Ireland
and the Middle East, and police versus the black community in the
United States. *Chapter 3: Updated discussion of issues related to
reporting hate incidents and collecting hate crime data. Expanded
presentation of hate crime laws at the federal and state levels.
New discussions of the problems associated with policing hate and
the role of social media in spreading hate. *Chapter 4: New section
on mass murder in the name of hate, including the Sikh Temple
massacre outside of Milwaukee, the Charleston Black Church
massacre, Baumhammer's killing spree targeting immigrants, Jews,
and non-whites in the Pittsburgh area, Taylor's killing spree
targeting whites, and black church burnings in the 1990s and 2015.
New discussion of thrill hate crimes against the homeless, people
with disabilities, and gays. Features: *Uses a single conceptual
framework to explore racism in American society, and the historical
occurrence of anti-Semitism, with special emphasis on Nazi Germany.
*The experiences of other groups, such as Armenians massacred in
1915 and gay students victimized by violence, are also examined to
provide a broad comparative perspective. *Shows the economic and
psychological benefits of hate, making it an expected, even
rational, behavior. *Examines the evolution of hate crime
legislation in the United States and the impact of this legislation
on the institutions of law and criminal justice. *Shows how
prejudice and hate can be addressed locally, but have an impact
globally. *The final chapter argues that respect for differences
requires rebellious and even deviant behavior.
