Bringing together perspectives from academics, practitioners, campaigners, and activists, this book explores the victimology of disability hate crime (DHC).

For the first time, this book brings together recent academic thought, the stance of those working for the United Nations to further the rights of disabled people, and a helpful toolkit on how to advance the status of the disabled victim of hate crime.

Campaigners, support workers, and legal scholars present a tangential approach to revealing the plight of disabled victims and their associates. The book will reveal the expertise required to understand experiences of victimisation and how to help reconstruct the lives of those affected by this type of violence. Never before has a book produced such a nuanced and multidisciplinary approach to discussing disability hate crime.

This volume will be useful not only for those academically interested in how disability hate crime is perpetrated but also for scholars who wish to study how to raise awareness and lobby for change. It is essential reading for those engaged with hate studies, victimology, disability, and vulnerable communities, as well as practitioners and campaigners.

Industry Reviews

'Rich in conceptual insight, methodological rigour and innovative ideas, this book challenges us to look beyond conventional assumptions about disability, vulnerability and hate crime. This is essential reading at an urgent moment.'

- Neil Chakraborti, Professor in Criminology, University of Leicester

'This is a very important book that adds fresh perspectives on a key issue: disability hate crime. By including chapters covering such an impressively wide range of topics, Burch and Wilkin, themselves leading experts in the field, have compiled an excellent volume that provides the most comprehensive coverage to date of this important yet hitherto understudied form of hate crime. This book is a must-read for hate crime academics and practitioners alike.'

- Professor Jon Garland, University of Surrey
