SynopsisHeadlines blare the news: a gay college student is brutally murdered; an African-American man is chained to a truck and dragged to his death. The actions of hate and racist groups terrify victims and terrorize whole communities. Linda Jacobs Altman explains who joins hate or racist groups and why, how such groups operate, and what methods are used to investigate and prosecute the crimes they commit. Finally, the author suggests measures young people can take to stop the spread of hate and racism.
