The offers a comprehensive overview of key themes and the latest research on hate crime across Europe. Against a backdrop of growing political and legal tensions surrounding identity and rights, it provides a timely and authoritative contribution to the field of hate crime studies. With contributions from both leading scholars and early career researchers, it offers a comprehensive and interdisciplinary examination of how hate manifests, is legislated against, and is contested across Europe. The book is divided into three parts: the first explores the historical and contemporary manifestations of hate across Europe, tracing how past prejudices continue to shape present day identity-based hostilities. The second examines legislative frameworks governing hate crime across European jurisdictions, while the third examines emerging challenges in tackling hate crime, including its ever evolving social, political, and economic drivers.
