Dallas Hate Crime Defense Lawyer
A hate crime is a criminal act that stems from bias against a person due to his/her:
- Ethnicity
- Gender
- Sexual orientation
- Religion
- Cultural background
- Disability
- Age
- Political beliefs
When people commit hate crimes, their goal is to target an individual or individuals based upon judgment and bias. Hate crimes can take form in numerous ways such as: bullying, assault & battery, name calling, vandalism, property damage, verbal abuse, verbal slurs, harassment or offensive behaviors.
In the past, hate crimes were generally overlooked by society. However, now days, people that commit hate crimes are exploited and are likely to be charged with criminal offenses if their acts merit legal action. A hate crime is considered a violent crime, which means that if offenders are convicted, they stand to be sentenced with jail time, hefty fines, community service, probation and, in some cases, mandatory anger management programs.
