Discussion – Hate Crimes
Hate crimes are violence-based crimes that are biased into one’s judgmental dislikes or likes motivated by bias against a race, color, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity, or disability. It has been a global challenge for years and has been the cause of several murder cases, suicide, depression, and more. Hate crime assailants do not attack because of personal grudges but because they irritate them by being any different from the judgments of how humans should look or behave. Hate crime victims are different in some socially significant ways. For instance, according to the United States FBI investigation, the most common form of hate crime is race ethnicity at 61.8% (“Welcome to FBI.gov | Federal Bureau of Investigation”, 2022).
However, hate crimes have developed since people do not trust the government as it has played a part in the crimes. In some cases, political positions are occupied by powerful white men. It is on rare occasions that Asians, Black people, Gay, Transgender, or Muslims will take the positions and normal superior jobs. Police have engaged in killing and mistreating people of color even without evidence of their wrongdoings. As a result, people with social differences have to hold protests occasionally for their rights to be acknowledged and for them to live without fear. Hence, victims are afraid to report hate crimes to the police as they are afraid to go through collisions that victims have had with the police in the past.
Moreover, people with mental disabilities may not know what hate crimes are and suffer alone without reporting them (Levin, 2015). Therefore, it is everyone’s duty to address hate crimes to provide a better future for the world and ensure peace for the next generation. Hate crime should also be distinguished from other crimes since it is unfair and affects the whole world. In conclusion, the government should ensure hate crimes are handled seriously, and schools and parents should teach children the importance of living in equality so as to avoid more hate crimes.
