ABSTRACT

Detest crimes are cruel expressions of narrow- mindedness and have a significant negative impact on the victim as well as the group they identify with. They’ve an impact on social stability and group cohesiveness. thus, a strong response is essential for both individual and collaborative security. Detest crimes are separated from other types of crime by the perpetrator’s provocation. Since the perpetrator’s provocation is constantly  inapplicable to proving the  crucial  rudiments of a crime, it’s infrequently completely delved  to uncover the true cause of the crime. However, the motive isn’t conceded as a pivotal element of the offence, and the presence of hate crimes remains unnoticeable, If a felonious justice system doesn’t fete the term hate crime.   Although several state laws have been enforced to address hate crimes, these crimes still do and have a significant impact on the victim as well as the community in which they passed. The detriment done by hate crimes can be reduced if law enforcement, prosecutors, and judges are duly trained to fete and address these crimes. Further investigation is needed, but current hate violence incidents appear to follow these patterns. Most of the reported incidents involved targeted attacks against individuals rather than large-scale violence. But they still fit into, and often serve, the political ecosystem.  This paper deals with the general overview of the concept of hate crimes in India.
