... One major form of crime that has continued to plague the United States is the concept of hate crimes. Hate crime used to be considered any enforceable offense against a race other than your own. Over recent years hate crimes have started to encompass more, attacks on one’s gender, sexual preference, and even choice of religion are now considered hate crimes (Proud 1). Even after the FBI began their own division to counteract hate crimes fourteen years ago, the reported incidents remained high. Hate crimes are the result of fears and opposition. When people feel threatened they act out in inappropriate ways, expressing themselves through these hate crimes. ...

While hate crimes in comparison to many other forms of crime are miniscule (only 11 of the 25,000 murders of last year were considered hate crimes) you must remember that they don’t just affect one person. Hate crimes affect everyone in the group being targeted (Policymaker 1).
Hate crimes are caused because of many different reasons. Around fifty-percent of these reported crimes have race as a main reason. ...
This leads to another disagreement amongst citizens causing hate. ... Eighty-two percent of all religious hate crimes are directed towards the Jewish population.
