Hate crimes have existed throughout human history. Although in recent decades many countries have criminalized this form of violent crime in their legislation, few countries pay special attention to prevention measures aimed at countering hate crimes. In this paper, the author will present the hate crime prevention programs launched in the countries that have advanced most in the creation and implementation of such prevention measures. The first two parts of the paper are dedicated to the analysis of special hate crime prevention programs focusing on the perpetrator, while the third part presents the programs focusing on the potential victims. The last part of the paper discusses the role of the media as the bearers of hate crime prevention programs.

Hate crimes carry many emotional and psychological detriments for those who are targeted because of who they are. The harms associated with hate are commonly theorized in the context of those directly targeted. Using a victimological lens, I consider how the harms of a mass anti-LGBT+ shooting in Orlando, Florida were carried across social media, indirectly victimizing LGBT+ people in the North East of England. This article examines seven distinct interviews conducted post-Orlando from a wider sample of 32. LGBT+ participants were victimized vicariously by receiving news of the Orlando shooting. They utilized social media to organize vigils, stand in solidarity with LGBT+ Floridians, and share in the emotional distress caused by the shooting. The findings contribute to our understandings of hate crime as a communicative tool, by examining the role of social media in carrying the emotional harms associated with hate. Through these in-depth narratives, this article encourages a conversation about how hate crimes, transmitted across social media, can victimize people who share the victimized identity with the direct victims.

The Relationship

Prior research has suggested that hate crimes hurt more, in that they are more physically severe than other crimes. A separate body of research has focused on the role of weapons in exacerbating violence; yet, no research has considered the role of weapon use in bias crime victimization. Following this, this research examines the relationship between weapon use, bias motivation, and victimization in the United States. On one hand, weapons may play an important role in hate crime by exacerbating violence. On the other hand, weapons may be unnecessary for facilitating hate crime violence, given the animus associated with bias motivation. Using data from the National Incident-Based Reporting System, we find that bias crimes are both (a) less likely than nonbias crimes to involve weapons and (b) more likely than nonbias crimes to involve serious or lethal victim injury. These patterns are particularly pronounced for antisexual orientation hate crimes.

The analysis is usually carried out in the following areas during the development of crime prevention programs:1) Complex analysis. The purpose of this area of analytical work is to identify changes in the state of the operational environment and to establish the factors that determined them.

Through this area of analytical work, the study of natural manifestations of crime is provided. The current analysis differs from the complex one mainly by the vol-ume of initial information and the depth of the study.3) Private analysis. This is done when the information obtained by the integrated or ongoing analysis is not sufficient to explain the trend or the deviation from the established trends.

This issue goes to press as we reach the half-way mark of another monthof fasting, the blessed month of Ramadan. A month when Muslims abstainfrom food and drink between sunrise and sunset is bound to bring to the forequestions of identity, especially for Muslims living in non-Muslim societies.I marveled as two of my non-Muslim students blithely ate their fruit beforeour morning class while the Muslim students and I could only eye their foodwith envy – the pungent smell of orange peel only heightened by the fast.That the students seemed totally oblivious only increased my wonder. It is,perhaps, an odd example to mention, but as we proceeded to have a heateddiscussion of the position of women in Islam, it reminded me of the dailycomplexities of maintaining an Islamic identity in the West.This question of identity and what it means to be Muslim has, perhaps,never been so under the spotlight or so hotly debated. That is why academicanalysis, done under the constraints of the noble ideals of academia (asearch for as dispassionate and objective meaning about the human conditionas is humanly possible) is more pressing than ever. The fate ofMuslims in the West depends on it, and on the dissemination of good academicthought through the media into popular culture. The week of writingthis editorial saw the arrest of a young man alleged to be behind hateliterature left under the doors of the Arab and Muslim StudentAssociations at a university in Toronto. Under a photograph of a whitemale, a caption reads: “Those who follow the Islam faith [sic] need to bekilled in the worst possible way imaginable.” These are some of the resultsof Bush’s “war on terror,” which, though meant to make the world saferfor freedom, democracy, and tolerance, is, in fact, polarizing the globe andfuelling an ethnic and racial particularism that has been growing duringthe past decade.As with this year’s other issues, the articles in this issue deal withthese perennially important questions of identity, ethnicity, the state,media, and war. Two of the three relate to the current predicament ofMuslims and the West, and the third looks at related questions in a historicaland intra-Muslim context – the role of Arab tribes in the eighth centu ry`Abbasid revolution ...

The phenomenon of racism has always been the most complex of social problems that still haunt mankind's ideas from time immemorial up to the present day. It leaves deep wounds in the history of peoples and nationalities and is being adopted to provoke wars and conflicts among them, threatening societal peace and human security. The emergence of the Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, has been a turning point in human history, as he has laid the foundations for coexistence and integration among different peoples and ethnicities, and this is what has been known as the Civil Document at the time. This work aims to demonstrate the phenomenon of racism, determine its causes, attain appropriate solutions to combat it, and classify it in a way that results in achieving societal stability between the different nationalities and ethnicities. To achieve the objectives of the study, the following two approaches- inductive and analytical, are used. The study concludes that it is impossible to completely eradicate the phenomenon of racism. However, it is possible to work to reduce it to the minimum, to raise community awareness as an effective way to combat this phenomenon, and enact laws that punish the instigators of this phenomenon. The current study recommends the need to activate the role of the media, hold related courses and workshops, and to activate the role of preachers and teachers of schools and universities in society.

The year brought several significant advancements in these areas. The adoption of the 2017 UNESCO Declaration of Ethical Principles in Relation to Climate Change acknowledged the role of indigenous knowledge in counteracting the challenge of climate change. Protection and integration of Roma was addressed in the activities of the human rights organizations and bodies at the level of the UN, the Council of Europe, the OSCE and the EU. The European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) delivered a series of significant judgments specifying the factors that would allow a court to classify an act as a hate crime. The ECtHR also instituted procedural rules protecting people from violence based on ethnic and racial motives.
