The
Science, assessment and treatment of violent
bias motivated offenders ABSTRACT INVITED SIMPOSIUM The significant impact of hate
crimes and acts of domestic terrorism on
individuals, groups, and communities demand that
we move beyond the headlines and rhetoric to a
better understanding of how hate violence
constitutes a mental health problem for the
offender, victim, and members of society. This
symposium addresses issues of research and
practice concerning the psychopathology of hate
crime offenders and ideologically motivated
violence. Presentations will include an overview
of how bias-motivated violence is considered
legally in differing contexts, analysis of the
developmental histories of hate crime
perpetrators, case illustrations in
psychological assessment of offenders of gender
based violence; and a look inside the
rationalizations and reasoning behind groups
that perpetrate cultural violence. We will also
consider the challenges inherent in the efforts
to reintegrate bias motivated offenders back
into society.
