“This book offers new methodological and empirical insights into ‘hate’, specifically in relation to the digital world and hate perpetrated towards ‘hard-to-reach groups’. … This book re-establishes core literature on hate crime and engages with new avenues for debate that will be of great interest to students and scholars of hate studies.” (James Pickles, The British Journal of Criminology, February 23, 2021)
