From the Paper:

"Since hate is an undesirable quality in human beings, it has been suggested by some that it should be outlawed. A more legitimate reason for outlawing hate is because it leads to hate crimes. As a result, more and more hate crime legislation has been enacted throughout the country recently. In his book, 'Criminal Law', Peter W. Low writes that, "One of the interesting questions to play with...is what it is that makes criminal law unique". The unique thing about hate crimes is that they are so vile. Indeed, they should occupy their own niche in the area of criminal law in which a `hate crime' would be a charge is levied in and of itself, in addition to the parallel crime.
