Rural issues are currently attracting unprecedented levels of
interest, with the debates surrounding the future of 'traditional'
rural customs and practice becoming a significant political
concern. However, the problem of racism in rural areas has been
largely overlooked by academics, practitioners and researchers who
have sought almost exclusively to develop an understanding of
racism in urban contexts. This book aims to address this oversight
by examining notions of ethnic identity, 'otherness' and racist
victimisation that have tended to be marginalised from traditional
rural discourse.
World football has undergone unprecedented change over the past
decade. On the field, the richest European clubs have retained
their pre-eminence, but with multinational playing squads backed up
by global marketing industries. Club ownership rests increasingly
with impersonal shareholders, rather than local business figures.
Domestic and international football competitions are being
transformed by the financial power of the mass media. The world's
top players are paid far more than their peers from previous eras.
This volume covers a wide range of topical issues which football
players, fans and administrators will have to confront in the years
to come.

Why has so much hate crime policy seemingly ignored academic
research? And why has so much research been conducted without
reference to policy? This book bridges the gap between research and
policy by bringing together internationally renowned hate crime
experts from the domains of scholarship, policy and activism. It
provides new perspectives on the nature of hate crime victimisation
and perpetration, and considers an extensive range of themes,
challenges and solutions which have previously been un- or
under-explored. In doing so, the book offers innovative ways of
combating and preventing hate crime that combine cutting-edge
research with the latest in professional innovations. Essential
reading for students, academics and practitioners working across a
range of disciplines including criminology, sociology and social
policy, Responding to Hate Crime makes a clear and compelling case
for closer and more constructive partnerships between scholars and
policy makers.

the first of which places the terms rural and racism in context by
analyzing appropriate theoretical explanations of rurality as well
as some of the concepts that characterize the problem of racism in
a rural setting. The book then considers the nature and process of

This book explores the key issues of racism, anti-racism and identity in British football. It relates the history of black players in the game, analyzes the racism they have experienced, and evaluates the efficacy of anti-racist campaigns. The efficacy of the policing of racism is also assessed. The nationalism and xenophobia evident in much of the media's coverage of major tournaments is highlighted in the context of the way that English, Scottish, and Welsh identities are constructed within British football.

Hate crime is a particularly pernicious form of criminal behaviour
that has significant impacts upon victims, their families and wider
communities. In this substantially revised and updated edition the
book examines the nature, extent and harms of hate crime, and the
effectiveness of criminal justice responses to it. It covers
racist, religiously motivated, homophobic, disablist and
transphobic hate crime, as well as other forms of targeted
victimisation such as gendered hostility, elder abuse, attacks upon
alternative subcultures and violence against sex workers and the
homeless. The book also assesses the complexities and controversies
surrounding hate crime legislation and policy-making, as well as
the continuing challenges associated with the policing of hate. The
second edition features expanded discussions of international
perspectives and contemporary topics such as online hate and
cyberbullying, as well as numerous case studies covering issues
such as lone wolf extremists, Islamophobia, asylum seekers and the
far right. The book contains a range of links to online material
that accompany the extensive lists of further reading in each
chapter.
