What is the difference between the consequences of a hate crime and a regular crime? A hate crime is when a perpetrator targets a victim because of his or her membership in a certain social group, usually defined by racial group, religion, sexual orientation, disability, ethnicity, nationality, age, gender, gender identity, or political affiliation. A crime is the breaking of one or more rules or laws for which some governing authority, may ultimately prescribe a conviction. My question is, what exactly are the consequences for a hate crime and a crime? Should the consequences for a hate crime be strengthened?

What crime can you get charged with if you rob a drug dealer? What crime can you get charged with if you rob a drug dealer?

Why is there a definitive difference between a hate crime and normal crime? Is crime within races,or against majority races/ethnicities performed out of love? And why should the criminal in a hate crime be punished anymore than a criminal in a non hate crime? Why should the punishment be based upon the victim instead of the crime? Regarding the first answer, I just can't imagine the government deciding the way crimes affect people. As a white woman, if I'm raped by a white man, it may ruin my marriage. I may fear men altogether after that, and could never be intimate with another man. Different people are different regarding the way they handle things, and I don't think it's fair that just because I'm white, I get passed over as saying, "oh, she'll be fine", compared to someone of a different ethnicity. All crime should be looked at as "hate crime". There should be severe punishment for it all. All crime is committed out of hate, wether it's racial or personal. From a humane point of view, it's not fair to the criminals for one to get worse treatment than another just because of who the victim was. And from a moral point of view, criminals need to know there are consequences to their actions, so they should all be punished to the fullest extent of the law dependent upon their actions.

When is a hypothetical conspiracy to commit a crime considered unlawful? I've often heard that a person can get arrested for conspiring to commit a crime before an actual crime is committed. This makes sense, but, when exactly does something become illegal? For example, if I went online and engaged in a hypothetical conversation with another about pulling off a bank heist, exchanging ideas or scenarios regarding the best way to accomplish such a task, is that by default a conspiracy to commit a crime?

How much crime do illegal immigrants actually commit in the US? This is a serious question! I really don't know and I'm looking for statistics. Personally I think that illegal aliens probably have a higher crime rate than the US average but not much higher when you account for income and geography.

I think that is a reasonable attitude so I think that many illegals think the same too. What do you think?

How is crime and illegal activity a bad thing if it pays the goverment? Anyone who says that you shouldn't break the law and commit crimes has no idea what they are talking about. For those of you who think I'm making a retarded statement, here are the facts: 1. People who get arrested have to pay fines 2. A good amount of the money that people pay in fines goes to the government (and very often its the local government of the town or city where the crime in question was committed) 3. The more money a government makes, the better shape the country, city, town, state, will be in because the government can use that money to solve the problems of the country, city, town, state, etc. 4. Therefore, it can be safely said that breaking the law and getting arrested is a good thing because by having to pay fines you are making the government richer, and by making the government richer you are helping out the country, town or state that the government runs! All this goes to show that CRIME REALLY DOES PAY.... IT PAYS THE GOVERNMENT! And if the government is rich, the country or town the government rules will be on easy street. All this considered, how can anyone possibly say that illegal activity is a bad thing?!?!?

Is it possible to manage Black areas to be less violent and crime infested? I am hopeful that we will be able to supervise Black communities to reduce crime. It does not matter why they are so prone to crime and resistant to responsibility, we must help them to become productive members of society if it is at all possible. I know we have been trying to transition them into society for many years now without much success, but we need to do more. It may be that we will just have to increase police presence and supervise them more closely to prevent crime. I do not think we can stop the tendency toward violence and crime, but we prevent the crime itself by strict control on these areas.

How big could a jail building be to stop crime in Britain? The British government is planning to build a super-large jail house in the UK to accommodate 100s of thousands of prisoners. The question is how does that prevent, stop or deter crime? Waste of time and tax payers money, I believe. Moreso, it turns the UK to the jail house of Europe, but will curb no crime as usual. There better ways to spend that kind of money, especially on programs that prevent crime rather than attempting a knee-jerk immediate cure.
