In this second edition of Hate Crime, Chakraborti and Garland broaden the scope of their analysis to thoughtfully reflect on dramatic changes in the realms of theory, research and policy that have characterized the field in the intervening 6 years since the first edition. They draw attention to our increased awareness of the complexity and ambiguity of hate crime, challenging readers to question many taken for granted assumptions of previous scholarship.

Dr. Barbara Perry

Comprehensive, informed, full of ideas, and yet accessible. The completely revised and fully updated second edition of this terrific book, by two of the leading scholars in the field, is an absolute must for anyone interested in the field of hate crimes.

Professor Tim Newburn

The concept of hate crime has been widely debated by academics but there is unlikely to ever be a broad consensus. However, the realities of the harm it causes to individuals and communities are all too real and UK Governments have recognized the value of decisions having a sound academic foundation. Fortunately there are a core group of academics in the UK who have moved on from the conceptual, to focus on its practicalities.

Paul Giannasi

A very useful read for students or practitioners wanting to expand their understanding of this important area. The text is up-to-date, covering such recent developments as the murder of Lee Rigby and the rise of recent far right street movements. The source material encompasses a wide range of international research but also the impressive work of the two central authors who are clearly leaders in the field... I [recommend] this book to all with an interest in the field who would benefit from an extremely competent and illuminating overview.

This is a fantastic book for helping students to understand the diverse nature of hate crime and will be a key text for helping students to understand the victimisation of a diverse range of demographic groups.

Miss Samantha Reveley

The previous edition of this book is already included on the reading list, so this is an updated version which I intend to recommend.

Mrs Ruth McGrath

Great book, which gives you an understanding for hate crimes in a more general perspective.

Ms Sara Thunberg

Although the text is not key to the overall course, it does offer an interesting and informative read for anyone looking at the intricacies of victimology and the links to hate.

Miss Anna Waistnage

This book presents an excellent review of one of the most important areas of Criminology: youth crime. The relation established by this book between the criminological theory and the special characteristics of this type of crime is very interesting. And those chapters related to Criminal Politics and the strategies for its prevention and formal control are even more interesting (and unusual).

Mr Francisco Bernabeu

This book approaches a new criminal activity, which has been hardly dealt with in current scientific studies: hate crime. In a near future, hate crime will require more and more attention by criminological research. That is why this book is considered as a very useful learning tool for students of this concrete area of Criminology.

Mr Francisco Bernabeu

It's a very interesting and relevant topic but unfortunately it's not possible at this moment in time to fit this into any of our courses. Hopefully we will be able to incorporate this topic in the future. This book will be most interesting for us then.

Mr Peter Karlsson

This is a fantastic insight into the realm of 'hate crime', indicating its origins and developments in socio-political, criminal justice and academic domains over the years. Not only is it accessible for all levels of readership, it is well grounded in research and written by two of the leading scholars in this field making this an engaging and informative text.

Dr Marian Duggan

This book is refreshing to read, well written and nicely structured. A nuanced book that really encapsulates the broad conception of 'hate crime'.

Mr Aliraza Javaid

Excellent and extremely comprehensive look at a range of hate crimes. This book makes the topic more approachable for all levels.
