Details

Hate Crimes in Comparative Legal Perspective expertly analyses the current legislative, jurisprudential and statistical trends in hate crimes across Europe, comparing them with the evolution of international standards and with the dominant legislative model in common law countries.

This book brings together leading experts in the field to investigate the legislative frameworks that have been established to combat hate crimes. Chapters also address the growing scientific and doctrinal debate on the best way to articulate anti-hate crime prohibitions and apply them through case law. Adopting a comparative law perspective, authors consider the direction followed by criminal policy in other jurisdictions, in particular the US. European legislative references and their application in case law are also examined.

Providing a comprehensive overview of the legal and statistical reality of hate criminality in prominent European jurisdictions, this book is a fundamental resource for researchers, academics and students of criminal Law and justice, comparative law and European law. Legal professionals and European policymakers will also find this to be a foundational resource on anti-discrimination legislation.
