Item Type: Article

Abstract

This article contributes to the growing literature concerning Disability Hate Studies. The study employs the concept of intersectionality and examines experiences of hate crimes recorded as racist or homophobic but where the victims/survivors also have a disability or mental health condition. The data was derived from 33 case-studies. Although very few hate incidents/crimes were conceptualised as disablist, disability played a significant role in the
experiences of victims/survivors. The article proposes that criminal justice agencies should move away fromunderstanding hate crime as a singular interaction to conceptualising the
possibility that this can become a harmful hate relationship that progresses overtime.
