Throughout American History there have been numerous groups of people affected by hate. As an expression of this hate, Hate Crimes are committed. Hate Crimes, whether targeting people of different race, religion, gender, sexual orientation or even those who exhibit a disability, are notably motivated by hate. These crimes can take place anywhere, any place and at any time and can range from name calling and vandalizing, to murder. Although there are laws such as the Campus Hate Crimes Right to Know Act of 1997 and The Hate Crimes Statistic Act of 1990 restricting these hate crimes, our laws need to become stricter and penalties more severe in order to ensure a safer and more comfortable lifestyle for all people, especially those on college campuses.
