Abstract

The present study is aimed at reviewing the phenomenon of hate crimes. The mental profile of perpetrators as well as the methodology of carrying out hate crimes is analysed and reviewed. Consistent patterns of troubled psyches of perpetrators are characterized by factors such as antisocial behavior as well as high levels of aggression. A huge deficit in cultural knowledge has been shown to lead to cultural bias and a higher incidence of hate crime-based violence. The study employs review of existing literature as its methodology. Results indicate a strong correlation between cultural ignorance, stereotypes and hate crimes. Childhood abuse and parenting troubles have also been shown to correlate strongly with psychological concerns in hate crime culprits. Interventions in the form of promotion of national values such as the right to free speech, as well as coming into direct contact with lesser-understood cultures greatly helps in reducing misconceptions and subsequently, in reducing hate crimes; as well as the course of future researches are appraised.
