“…Equally, if the value of academic theorizing becomes more evident when it reaches beyond its own echo chamber to connect with hate crime responses and experiences, then the value of criminal justice interventions is similarly enriched when such interventions are grounded in scholarly evidence and relevant input from other sectors. However, in reality these kinds of holistic interventions may not exist where community and third sector organizations lack the capacity to shape policy-makers’ opinions about the relevance or prevalence of hate crime; or where the influence of academic work may be hampered by scholars having conducted limited or no research in particular contexts; and where such work is seen as peripheral to policy formation and frontline work with victims (Chakraborti, 2015a; Perry, 2014).…”

The need for fresh responses to hate crime has become all the more apparent at a time when numbers of incidents have risen to record levels, both within the UK and beyond. Despite progress within the domains of scholarship and policy, these escalating levels of hate crimeand the associated increase in tensions, scapegoating and targeted hostility that accompanies such spikes-casts doubt over the effectiveness of existing measures and their capacity to address the needs of hate crime victims. This article draws from extensive fieldwork conducted with more than 2,000 victims of hate crime to illustrate failings in relation to dismantling barriers to reporting, prioritising meaningful engagement with diverse communities and delivering effective criminal justice interventions. It highlights how these failings can exacerbate the sense of distress felt by victims from a diverse range of backgrounds and communities, and calls for urgent action to plug the ever-widening chasm between state-level narratives and victims' lived realities.

“…Second, she posits that emotions are central to both the perpetrator’s rationale for committing a hate crime and the victim’s experience of the crime. Perpetrators of hate are motivated by a hostility, prejudice, or bias towards a person (Perry, 2003), specifically their identity; a profoundly emotional drive. Third, the targeting of identity to commit violence carries detrimental emotional harms.…”

Based on data taken from lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT+) youth and community workers, this article highlights the occupational stressors experienced by LGBT+ professionals who provide emotional support to service users and theorises the potential for vicarious victimisation to occur as a result. Research suggests that the emotional harms of ‘hate’ can indirectly victimise those with a shared identity as the primary victim, through emotional contagion. However, little research has been carried out on those who support victims of hate. I theorise that vicarious victimisation may occur where an individual, who shares the primary victim’s identity, takes on their experiences through a therapeutic relationship as a negative consequence of the emotional labour performed.

“…The problem posed by these implementation gaps can be understood through reference to the hate crime “triangle” that Joanna J. Perry (2014) uses to describe the interactive process of connecting different spheres of work (see also her article in this special issue). At one point of the triangle, we have activists and civil society organizations who evidence and construct the problem of targeted violence, with lawmakers at a second point responding by passing laws and tasking policy makers with their implementation.…”

With hostility and prejudice continuing to pose complex challenges for societies across the world, developments in hate crime scholarship and policy have facilitated a greater prioritization, improved understanding and collective action amongst a range of different actors, including law-makers and enforcers, non-governmental organisations, activists and 'ordinary' citizens. Despite this progress however, our collective responses to hate crime have been undermined by a disconnected approach to scholarship and policy.This article focuses on a series of problems which are created and reinforced through such an approach. This includes the limited reach of hate crime scholarship, and specifically the perception that academic theorising is often too detached from the everyday realities confronting those who respond to -or live with -the consequences of hate crime in the 'real world'. Equally problematic is policy which is not empirically-driven or linked to academic knowledge, or which is based on tokenistic, cynical or 'tick-box' foundations. The article draws from these faultlines to underline the symbiotic relationship between hate crime scholarship and policy-formation: one where policyformation needs academic substance to be fit for purpose; and where scholarship needs to inform policy to have any lasting 'real-world' value to responses to hate crime.
