This is a great book, which will provide a valuable resource for our students on the issue of hate crime. I cannot recommend it as a main text, as it is obvious too focused on this one main area, but it does provide excellent coverage of that area and I would certainly recommend it for those exploring hate crime and associated issues.
Hate crime is not one of my specialist areas therefore, I felt the need to do some extra reading around the topic.
This book provides a great outline of some of the key debates present in this particular area of Criminology.
