Abstract

This mini review of literature focuses on intergenerational, community and historical traumas of victims of ‘hate crime’. By focusing upon these aspects, the lived experience and psychological harm of such victimization is illuminated. Many query why certain characteristics are ‘protected’ and offences demonstrating hostility to these are punished more severely. Reviewing research on the harm caused will help to answer these queries. The review will also highlight the need for more than informal methods of help for many of these victims.
