Description
Summary:This guide to researching hate crime and hate speech laws is designed for both legal experts and non-lawyers, and covers a wide range of legal resources. Chapters include key primary and secondary materials across several jurisdictions--U.S. federal, state, and international arenas. Summaries of each resource allow the reader to determine which are most likely to contain the type of information being sought, and links to electronic resources are also provided whenever possible. Each chapter includes a brief overview of key legal issues or questions, so that novice researchers can quickly familiarize themselves with important laws and terminology, while experts in the topic can refer directly to the relevant resources. While the book focuses primarily on hate crime, there is some consideration of closely related legal resources on issues such as hate speech and freedom of expression. Selected non-legal resources, such as hate crime statistics, are also included in order to provide the researcher with key materials that cover the full range of the topic.--Publisher
