Soon after the September 11th attacks, a number of Sikh men were targeted and killed; mistaken as Muslims. Such hate crimes are only a new twist on what has become a familiar story. Children at a Jewish daycare centre in California were attacked by an anti-Semitic gunman. In Texas, a black man was dragged to death from the back of a pick-up truck. And, of course, we all remember the brutal murder of Matthew Shepperd, a young gay man from Montana. All are cases of hate crimes. Whether motivated by race, gender, religion, ethnicity, or sexuality, hate crimes happen every day and in every state across the country. Hate and Bias Crime: A Reader is the first reader to bring together the essential readings on hate and bias crime, its causes and consequences, victims, hate groups and interventions.
Perry illuminates the Supreme Court's unique advantages in
sustaining a noble public image by its stewardship of the revered
Constitution, its constant embrace of the rule of law, the
justices' life tenure, its symbols of impartiality and integrity,
and a resolute determination to keep its distance from the media.
She argues that the Court has bolstered these advantages to avoid
traps that have marred Congressional and presidential images, and
she demonstrates how the Court has escaped the worst of media
coverage. In this detailed examination of the Court, its justices,
decisions, facilities, and programs as well as its place in modern
American culture, Perry illustrates that the Court has consciously
endeavored to preserve its exalted standing. The Priestly Tribe
provides an original and insightful analysis of this intriguing
judicial institution for students and scholars of the Court and the
general public.
This book is the first collection of scholarship featuring both
Canadian and American scholarship on the resurgent right-wing
extremist movement in the two countries. It is particularly timely
given the recent rise in political populism that has engendered
renewed activism from extreme right contingents. Trump's right-wing
populist and white nationalist political campaign has galvanized
Canadian and American white supremacist ideologies, identities,
movements and practices. Leading Canadian and American scholars are
brought together to explore a contemporary array of current
dynamics, patterns and characteristics associated with the movement
in each country. Split into four sections, it provides an
introduction to extremism in the 21st century, it examines studying
extremism, forms of extremist activity and violence, and the
responses. The collection allows comparisons to be drawn out from
the distinct treatments of each country. It speaks to students as
well as scholars in social sciences departments, including
criminology, sociology, social justice, and terrorism, peace and
security studies, and political-violence related programs.
In recent decades, the U.S. Supreme Court has taken on an
increased political prominence, due largely to such controversial
issues as abortion, the separation of church and state, and civil
rights. Because such issues could be affected by a Court member's
personal beliefs and experiences, the question of how race,
religion, and gender influence Supreme Court appointments is a
crucial one. In this work, Barbara Perry explores the impact of
these factors on the Court, placing the presidential nominations in
their historical and political contexts. She examines the question
of whether justices should be chosen in order to create a
representative court that reflects elements in American
society.
The book is based on both primary and secondary sources,
including interviews with seven members of the Court. Following a
detailed introduction, Perry provides a historical analysis of the
appointments of eight Catholics, five Jews, one black, and one
woman, revealing a link between the appointments and the political,
social, electoral, and demographic contexts in which they were
made. She traces the decline in importance of the religious factor,
as the ascendence of religious groups in mainstream politics no
longer made it necessary for presidents to maintain a
representative Court position. Representative considerations,
however, will continue to play a role in the selection process, and
Perry argues for a reconciliation between the undeniable pull of
politics and ideology and the demands for merit-based appointments.
This work will add an important new perspective to studies of the
Supreme Court, as well as to the study of law, political science,
and American history.
This book seeks to address a significant void in the scholarship on
policing Native American communities. It is the first book to
explore Native Americans' perspectives on the ways in which Native
American communities especially those in and around reservations
are both over and underpoliced in ways that perpetuate both the
criminalization and the victimization of Native Americans as
nations and as individuals. Drawing upon a series of interviews
conducted with 278 Native Americans from seven states, Policing
Race and Place in Indian Country uncovers patterns of hate crime
against Native Americans as well as a general dissatisfaction with
the nature of law enforcement in their communities. Participants
reported activities ranging from willful blindness to Native
American victimization at one extreme, to overt forms of police
harassment and violence at the other. What emerges from these
descriptions is the recognition that the patterns observed by the
participants of the study are an extension of a lengthy history of
systemic racism against Native Americans. Policing Race and Place
in Indian Country is one of the first books to address the policing
of Native American communities. While there are several studies
that investigate the racialized nature and context of policing,
most only refer to Native Americans in passing. By focusing solely
on the Native American community, the book is appealing to scholars
writing on race and policing or criminal justice."
Advancing Critical Criminology constitutes a timely addition to the
growing body of knowledge on critical criminology scholarship.
DeKeseredy and Perry have assembled a volume that provides scholars
with an in-depth review of the extant literature on several major
branches of criminology as well as examples of how critical
criminologists apply their theoretical perspectives to substantive
topics, such as drugs, interpersonal violence, and rural crime.
Accordingly, this work is divided into two main sections: overviews
of theories and applications. Each chapter provides a summary of
work in a specific area, along with suggestions for moving the
field forward. This reader is unique in its choice of topics, which
have often been overlooked in the past. An expert collection of
international scholars, Advancing Critical Criminology is certain
to stimulate lively debates and generate further critical social
scientific work in this field.

In the name of hate is the first book to offer a comprehensive theory of hate crimes and offers an expansion of the legal definitions that most states in the USA hold. Barbara Perry provides an historical understanding of hate crimes and provocatively argues that hate crimes are not an aberration of current society, but, rather a by-product of a society still grappling with inequality, difference, fear, and hate.

This book comprehensively examines right-wing extremism (RWE) in
Canada, discussing the lengthy history of violence and
distribution, ideological bases, actions, organizational capacity
and connectivity of these extremist groups. It explores the current
landscape, the factors that give rise to and minimise these
extremist groups, strategies for countering these groups, and the
emergence of the 'Alt-Right'. It draws on interviews with law
enforcement officials, community activists, and current and former
right-wing activists to inform and offer practical advice, paired
with analyses of open source intelligence on the state of the RWE
movement in Canada. The historical and contemporary contours of
right-wing extremism in Canada are situated within the social,
political, and cultural landscape that has shaped the movement. It
will be of particular interest to students and researchers of
criminology, sociology, social justice, terrorism and political
violence.
One of the pioneers of the Total Quality movement, W. Edwards
Deming, famously proclaimed, "Drive out fear so that everyone may
work more effectively for the company." But after attending a
quality conference in the 1990s devoted to Deming's proposition,
the authors felt somehow drained; talking about fear seemed to have
sucked the life out of the entire audience. They began to wonder if
it was a vicious circle; what if focusing on fear, even in an
effort to drive it out, actually kept you in fear? What if the
conversation were shifted to hope--not to negate or invalidate fear
but to bring energy to the more life-enhancing side of the
equation? Putting Hope to Work is their response to these
questions. Drawing upon their many years of research and management
consulting, the authors present a pragmatic approach to
identifying, supporting, and sustaining hope and channeling it
toward productive ends to create more vibrant, creative,
collaborative--and successful--workplaces. Integrating insights
from fields as diverse as anthropology, psychology, philosophy, and
biology, Hutson and Perry identify the five key principles of
hope--possibility, agency, worth, openness, and connection--and
demonstrate how they can be developed in any type of organization.
Featuring dozens of in-depth examples and personal experiences from
a wide variety of organizations, as well as tools for applying hope
toward effective leadership, decision making, problem solving, and
communication, the authors offer a multi-dimensional approach to
leadership that is both inspiring and practical, tapping into a
universal desire to produce work that is as meaningful as it is
profitable.
Since the first and only constitutional convention in 1787, 26
amendments have been added to our governing document, but not one
of them became law by virtue of the convention method. Despite more
than 400 applications, no constitutional convention has been called
in 202 years. Indeed it was James Madison who wrote, "Having
witnessed the difficulties and dangers experienced by the first
Convention. . . . I should tremble for the result of a Second." In
"Unfounded Fears: Myths and Realities of a Constitutional
Convention," Weber and Perry present a balanced, scholarly look on
this controversial topic and introduce surprising conclusions.
Weber and Perry seek to determine if, in fact, the first
convention was a runaway, as common wisdom holds, and they examine
the process by which the Convention was called. They also review
the attempts since 1787 to call a second constitutional convention,
and they confront many of the questions commonly raised about a
potential convention, including the process for electing delegates
and the ability of Congress to establish and control the
convention's procedures and substance of what a convention does. In
their final chapter, they reflect on the realities of a
balanced-budget amendment.
