Hate Crimes legislation has always been controversial. Some say every crime is a hate crime, other say no, there are special exceptions. The controversy was revisited again recently here in Pennsylvania when the hate crimes law, otherwise known as the Ethnic Intimidation Act, was amended last year to become what is presently seen as the broadest and the most inclusive hate crimes law in the United States. This manual and audio CD set addresses how the law is applied, when it is triggered, and how often it is actually used. You will discover how to defend against a hate crimes charge, and learn also, the approach taken when prosecuting these cases.
