Criminal acts stemming from prejudice based on race, religion, sexual orientation, or ethnicity--frequently referred to as "hate violence"--have increased during recent years. This study explored the nature of hate attacks and victims' responses to them. The sample consisted of 59 victims and included black, white, and Southeast Asian people. Data were obtained through focus group meetings, individual interviews, and questionnaires. More than half of the victims reported experiencing a series of attacks rather than a single attack. Anger, fear, and sadness were the emotional responses most frequently reported by victims. About one-third of the victims reported behavioral responses such as moving from the neighborhood or purchasing a gun. The responses of hate violence victims were similar to those of victims of other types of personal crime. Implications for social work intervention are discussed.
近年来，源于基于种族、宗教、性取向或族裔的偏见的犯罪行为——通常被称为“仇恨暴力”——有所增加。本研究探讨了仇恨袭击的性质以及受害者对其的反应。样本包括59名受害者，涵盖黑人、白人和东南亚人。数据通过焦点小组会议、个人访谈和问卷调查获得。超过一半的受害者报告称遭受了一系列袭击而非单次袭击。愤怒、恐惧和悲伤是受害者最常报告的情绪反应。约三分之一的受害者报告了行为反应，如搬离社区或购买枪支。仇恨暴力受害者的反应与其他类型个人犯罪的受害者相似。文中还讨论了对社会工作干预的启示。
