To Charge Or Not To Charge?-That Is The Question: The Pursuit Of Strategic Advantage In Prosecutional Decision-Making Surrounding Hate Crime, Beverly Mcphail, Valerie Jenness Jan 2005

To Charge Or Not To Charge?-That Is The Question: The Pursuit Of Strategic Advantage In Prosecutional Decision-Making Surrounding Hate Crime, Beverly Mcphail, Valerie Jenness

Journal of Hate Studies

We asked prosecutors how they think about hate crimes and which factors do and do not influence their decision-making processes when deciding whether to charge a hate crime (add a hate crime enhancement). Our empirical findings along these line provide the first glimpse of the dynamics that underlie the prosecution of hate crime.

White Nationalism Revisited: Demographic Dystopia And White Identity Politics, Steven L. Gardiner Jan 2005

White Nationalism Revisited: Demographic Dystopia And White Identity Politics, Steven L. Gardiner

Journal of Hate Studies

Two stimuli, both dating to 2002, drove me to write this paper. The first (and by far the more visceral) was my attendance at the biannual conference of American Renaissance (AR)- the flagship publication of the sector of the American far right considered herein. The conference was held in Washington, D.C. suburb of Herndon, Virginia, and it reflected this demographic. It was attended by some 250 mostly well-dressed, mostly middle-aged white men-along with a smattering of women-a number of whom held advanced degrees of one flavor or another. There is nothing too surprising in this: the ignorant redneck stereotype of …

A Content Analysis Of Persuasion Techniques Used On White Supremacist Websites, Georgie Ann Weatherby, Brian Scoggins Jan 2005

A Content Analysis Of Persuasion Techniques Used On White Supremacist Websites, Georgie Ann Weatherby, Brian Scoggins

Journal of Hate Studies

The Internet has made it possible for people to access just about any information they could possibly want. Conversely, it has given organizations a vehicle through which they can get their message out to a large audience. Hate groups have found the Internet particularly appealing, because they are able to get their uncensored message out to an unlimited number of people (ADL 2005). This is an issue that is not likely to go away.

Preface, Jerri Shepard

Journal of Hate Studies

Most would agree that the transgression of simply going about our own business and ignoring the plight of others pales in comparison to that of committing open acts of violence and hatred. In his poem "Fire and Ice," Robert Frost invites us to ponder a paradox.

Toward An Interdisciplinary Field Of Hate Studies: Developing A Framework, Jon Blitzer Jan 2005

Toward An Interdisciplinary Field Of Hate Studies: Developing A Framework, Jon Blitzer

Journal of Hate Studies

In the last volume of the Journal of Hate Studies, Ken Stern of the American Jewish Committee (AJC) wrote an article addressing the need for what he calls an interdisciplinary field of hate studies. For too long, he argued, academics have studied “hate”1 in isolation. A social psychologist may have approached the subject looking to study the relationship between an individual hater and the hate group to which he belongs; a political scientist or economist might have studied how economic instability or political disenfranchisement contributed to the behavior of some racist or anti-Semite. To put it simply, academics from a …

Encyclopedia Of Genocide And Crimes, Steven K. Baum Jan 2005

Encyclopedia Of Genocide And Crimes, Steven K. Baum

Journal of Hate Studies

When Israel Charny edited ABC-CLIO’s 2-volume, 720-page Encyclopedia of Genocide and Crimes Against Humanity in 1999, it was not clear that such an extensive work was needed by the field, or that it would be welcome. Although admirable in containing contributions from about 100 contributors and forewords by Archbishop Desmond Tutu and Simon Wiesenthal, the two-volume set was a little too detailed at times and was somewhat cumbersome to use. Now, in its third printing, the work has found both its place and its stride. Despite its flaws, the encyclopedia fills avoid and is appreciated by scholars in the field.

Do Unto Others: Extraordinary Acts Of Ordinary People, Robert N. Kraft Jan 2005

Do Unto Others: Extraordinary Acts Of Ordinary People, Robert N. Kraft

Journal of Hate Studies

In short, altruistic behavior is voluntary, unrewarded helping of another, with heroic altruism including a high degree of risk or self-sacrifice. Do Unto Others tells us that altruism begins in infancy as an innate predisposition and is nurtured in a healthy relationship with one’s parents. The concentric influences of peers, school, community, and society reinforce and expand the young person’s altruistic qualities, which can then become internalized “normocentric” values. To realize the force of these normocentric values, consider the reaction of two communities to the treatment of Ryan White, the courageous teenager who contracted AIDS from a transfusion of blood …

The Law And Politics Of Contemporary Transitional Justice, Ruti G. Teitel Jan 2005

The Law And Politics Of Contemporary Transitional Justice, Ruti G. Teitel

Articles & Chapters

Slobodan Milosevic, Saddam Hussein, Hissene Habre, Augusto Pinochet, Charles Taylor. There have never been more political leaders in the dock, or, under the shadow of its threat. Of what significance are these contemporary instances of transitional justice? This article uses the trials of Slobodan Milosevic and Saddam Hussein as an occasion for revisiting and extending my ongoing project of tracing a genealogy of transitional justice.
/="/">
/="/">In prior work, I have defined "transitional justice" as that conception of justice associated with periods of political change. In an ongoing genealogy, I tie the legal developments in this area to distinct …
