Narrative chapters report on the frequency and extent of these crimes and the history of related legislation. In addition to the extensive bibliography, there are lists of films, videotapes, and websites on the subject. The chronology chapter includes a list of major and lesser-known hate crimes, providing essential information to students and researchers wanting detailed information on hate crimes.
