A Practitioner’s Guide to Hate Crime Investigations

By Geoff Steer and colleagues

A practical guide to investigating hate crimes in contemporary policing and security contexts. Drawing on frontline, investigative, and counter-terrorism experience, the book examines how hate crimes are identified, assessed, and investigated, the impacts on victims and communities, and the operational challenges of evidence, offender behaviour, media scrutiny, and threat management. It also addresses prevention, intelligence-led approaches, and community engagement in an increasingly polarised environment.
