The Impact of Hate CrimesVictims of hate crimes are targeted based on prejudices of the attacker. Doerner and Lab (2017) describe hate crimes as bias-motivated violence (p. 392). The attacker may or may not personally know the victim. The victim is selected based on the attackers perception that the victim belongs to a particular group (based on race, ethnicity, national origin, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity, disability, and so forth), thereby intending for the larger group to suffer as indirect victims of the attack.For this discussion, search for a popular or scholarly article that presents a hate crime and a discussion of the implications for other members that fit within the targeted group. Integrating (and citing) what you learned from the article and other sources along with your critical thinking on the topic, discuss how the hate crime potentially impacts the identity of other members of the group.Next, search the Internet for an organization that works to protect the rights of the targeted group. The organization might be a local, state, or national group. Provide the name of the organization and describe the support, services, or lobbying that the organization provides for members of the targeted group.RESPONSE GUIDELINESAfter completing your main post, be sure to respond to at least two other

The impact on an individual could result in rejection of the aspect of oneself from the targeted group or the association of the core part of the identity with fear, loss, and vulnerability. After hate crimes, the targeted group experience clinical levels of post-traumatic stress resulting from the events that took place in their community (Fashola, 2011). Moreover, the targeted group experiences increased levels of fear for their safety as well as those of their families thus forcing the members to start taking measures of protecting themselves. An example of hate crimes is that of a series of attacks against the Asian anglers in Georgina, Ontario, near Toronto
