Perspectives on Hate Crime and extreme Right Violence

Abstract

This panel will discuss drivers of hate crime and extreme right violence and groups, and how such hateful activities can be prevented. The papers discuss the role of conspiracy theories, narratives, and social and psychological rewards in mobilising to participation in extremist groups, protests or violence. Among the issues addressed are the importance of online radicalisation and mobilisation, the attractions of extremist groups, and the effects of conspiratorial mindsets on far-right extremist attitudes. One of the papers presents a comprehensive model for preventing hate crimes.
