[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What are the elements that make a crime a hate crime? What do the police and/or prosecutors look for that mark the difference? [/quote] There are plenty of ways to qualify violence, which means there have to be different ways of punishing/preventing it within a society as well. There may be crimes of opportunity (eg a mugging, theft), sexual violence (eg rape, sexual assault), political violence (eg terrorism, collateral damage to civilians during an insurgency, etc), etc etc. AFAIU, a hate crime would be if the variables of the situation pointed to an individual carrying out violence against another individual based solely on a set of 'identifiers' like race, gender, religion, etc. Not a super exact science, but there's definitely a reason why it's categorized differently. [/quote] What are the elements of a hate crime in terms of criminal law? What's the legal definition in Virginia? [/quote]
