Hate Crimes NAME SSCI210-1101B-08: Sociology American Intercontinental University Abstract Prejudice can lead to many things. Hate crimes are something every individual has to be concerned with. Targets are not always based on race, but based on social class. Hate crimes are not always an uncontrollable or random act.
