Hate Crime in Everyday Life

Crime and Deviance:

Hate Crime is high profile now.

This film, featuring one of the UK’s leading hate crime researchers, Professor Neil Chakraborti, looks at:

• what hate crime is,
• how it can be measured and
• why popular media stereotypes of typical hate offenders are so misleading.
