Wie muss der Staat Opferschutz im Migrationsrecht gestalten? Um rechtsdogmatische Fragestellungen zum Aufenthaltsrecht Betroffener von Hasskriminalität zu beantworten, bedient sich die vorliegende Untersuchung auch sozialwissenschaftlicher und viktimologischer Erkenntnisse. Der hybriden Rechtsmaterie wird durch die Analyse europa- und völkerrechtlicher Vorgaben sowie des deutschen Verfassungs-, Verwaltungs- und Straf(verfahrens)rechts Rechnung getragen. Darüber hinaus wird die Verwaltungspraxis in der Bundesrepublik empirisch untersucht. Deutlich wird der Bedarf einer Reform zur Klarstellung der aufenthaltsrechtlichen Position für Betroffene von Hasskriminalität. Die Arbeit schließt mit entsprechenden Gesetzesvorschlägen.

"With hate crimes on the rise, it is more important than ever to understand how hate originates, develops, manifests, and spreads-and how it can be counteracted. In this book, renowned psychologist Robert J. Sternberg assembles a diverse group of experts to examine these central issues from the perspectives of multiple disciplines. The book is anchored by Sternberg's FLOTSAM theory, which identifies key conditions that enable the development and transmission of hate, including fear, license, obedience to authority, trust, sense of belonging to a valued group, amplification of arousal, and modeling. Chapters work through various manifestations of hate: hate as a thought, a feeling, or an action; forms of hate that are rooted in group bias, or that stem from a single relationship; and hate that varies in intensity, from the mundane to the extreme. Authors also explore the various cognitive and emotional processes at work, as well as the political motivations that can spark violent acts of hate. The book also considers the role of hate crime legislation and the relationships among hate speech, free speech, and group violence"--

Why do we know every gory crime scene detail about such victims as Matthew Shepard and James Byrd Jr. and yet almost nothing about the vast majority of other hate crime victims? Now that federal anti-hate-crimes laws have been passed, why has the number of these crimes not declined significantly? To answer such questions, Clara S. Lewis challenges us to reconsider our understanding of hate crimes. In doing so, she raises startling issues about the trajectory of civil and minority rights. Tough on Hate is the first book to examine the cultural politics of hate crimes both within and beyond the law. Drawing on a wide range of sources-including personal interviews, unarchived documents, television news broadcasts, legislative debates, and presidential speeches-the book calls attention to a disturbing irony: the sympathetic attention paid to certain shocking hate crime murders further legitimizes an already pervasive unwillingness to act on the urgent civil rights issues of our time. Worse still, it reveals the widespread acceptance of ideas about difference, tolerance, and crime that work against future progress on behalf of historically marginalized communities.
