Assignment

A. Scan these short articles about hate crimes in Canada, India, and the United Kingdom. As you do so, ask yourself: Does this country's legislation (at the time the article was published) appear to define "hate crime" similarly to definitions we've already explored in this class? As you consider this, complete the following:

Write a paragraph explaining what you learned about how hate crimes are defined, prosecuted, etc. in one of these countries.

Search for information about that country's hate crime laws, especially anything that is more up to date than when the linked article was published. Share what you discover and be sure to link to your sources.

Alternatively, if you have an interest in a country not listed here, you're welcome to focus on that one instead. Be sure to link to the article(s) you're basing your analysis on.

B. Let's not forget that there are multiple sources of hate crime data. From governmental bodies to researchers to human rights/relations commissions to social justice nonprofits, there are an array of individuals, groups, and larger entities that disseminate hate crime data in different formats.

Since many of you expressed an interest in visual learning, let's visit a map on hate crime data. Explore the map and respond to the following:

I. Time: Below the map to the left there is a "Over Time" bar. Slide that bar. Do you notice a shift in the number, distribution, location of hate groups over the years? Could any of this data be used to support the conclusion that there has been a "rise in hate/hate crimes in the U.S." or even that hate/hate crimes are an "epidemic"? Why or why not? Be sure to reset the bar to 2022 before moving on to the next part of this activity.

II. Location: Since we've recently been discussing how state hate crime legislation can vary, choose a state or two to analyze. We recommend you choose the state(s) where the hate-motivated violence that you wrote about for essay 1 occurred. How many hate groups does this state have? Are there certain groups of people/status provisions that these hate groups appear to target? Why does this matter?

III. Choose your own adventure: What else have you learned from this map? In what ways is this map useful? In what ways is it limited? Feel free to reflect on anything about the mission of SPLC (the organization that creates it), methodology used to collect the data, etc. that interests you.

C. Watch video and answer the 3 questions

I. Do you agree or disagree with Sethi that the Trump administration "emboldened hate?" Why or why not? What sources (e.g., media, data, personal experience) would you rely on to make your arguments?

II. What does Sethi get 'right' in his description of hate crime data? What would you add to his analysis?

III. Sethi briefly mentions the Southern Poverty Law Center. Are you familiar with this organization? Either way, what is its mission?
