“…For example, Italy has banned the display of ideas and symbols of fascism with the Law 205/1993 known as Mancino law (Campani, 2016). In the German context, the legacy of the Holocaust is mainly responsible for the criminalization of public expressions of hate that could engender or promote violence to protected groups such as Holocaust denial and trivialization (Bleich, 2011; Kahn, 2005). On the other hand, in the United States freedom of speech is constitutionally protected and has been a central tenet of individual liberty that has prevented the country from passing stringent laws.…”

The overall aim of the review is to map the definitions and measurement tools used to capture the whole spectrum of hate motivated behaviors, including hate crime, hate speech and hate incidents. This will benefit the field of hate studies by providing a baseline that can inform the building of cumulative knowledge and comparative research. The first review objective is to map definitions of hate crime, hate incidents, hate speech, and surrogate terms. Specific research questions underpinning this objective are: (a) How are hate crimes, hate speech and hate incidents defined in the academic, legal, policy, and programming literature?; (b) What are the concepts, parameters and criteria that qualify a behavior as being hate crime, hate incident or hate speech?; and (c) What are the most common concepts, parameters and criteria found across definitions? What are the differences between definitions and the elements they contain? The second review objective is to map the tools used to measure the prevalence of hate crime, hate incidents, hate speech, and surrogate terms. Specific research questions underpinning this objective are: (a) How are definitions operationalised to measure hate crimes, hate speech, and hate incidents?; and (b) How valid and reliable are these measures?

“…In 2008, the Council of Europe adopted the Framework Decision on Racism and Xenophobia to tackle "particularly serious manifestations of racism and xenophobia by means of criminal legislation," especially considering rising anti-Semitism in Eastern and Central European new EU members. Kebranian (2018) states that the Council of Europe's EUwide equivalence of historical revisionism with hate speech unknowingly promotes political redefinitions of denialism and, more significantly, hate speech.…”

This article examines the impact of populism on the rule of law in Hungary and Poland. It argues that political discourse is important in setting the political agenda and is often followed by the criminalization of minorities, Euroskepticism, intervening in the operation of supreme courts, affecting the decisions of the judges, and disregarding international law and/or supranational legal orders. It also highlights how politicization and securitization increasingly operate under populist authoritarian regimes through the legal system and legislative initiatives to increase the power of the government and the ruling party. Discourse analysis is a valuable tool to reveal whether a legislator's intention serves the people or exploits power to change the structure and functioning of the political system. Thus, this article follows the course of politics in Hungary and Poland from discourse to hijacking democracy through instrumentalizing the rule of law.Related ArticlesDeegan‐Krause, Kevin, and Tim Haughton. 2009. “Toward a More Useful Conceptualization of Populism: Types and Degrees of Populist Appeals in the Case of Slovakia.” Politics & Policy 37(4): 821–41. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1747‐1346.2009.00200.x.Skowronska, Kaja. 2021. “The Recent Politicization of Immigration in Poland in Light of Preexisting State Practices: Continuity or Change in the Understanding of Citizenship and Nationhood?” Politics & Policy 49(4): 940–67. https://doi.org/10.1111/polp.12424.Zafirovski, Milan. 2022. “Toward a New Political Democracy Index: Construction, Validation, and Calculation for Individual Societies and Types of Society.” Politics and Policy 50(4): 663–99. https://doi.org/10.1111/polp.12488.

“…Prevention of racial defamation and incitement to hatred against victim groups are among other most common goals. This is complemented by the need to protect the dignity of the victims and the memory of particular crimes (Kahn 2011). The need for wider international recognition of certain crimes is also often behind such rules.…”
