Summary:

"This book offers a multidisciplinary analysis of hate crimes and acts of intolerance in Brazil, exploring their legal, social, and political dimensions within the broader context of human rights protection. It provides critical insights into the challenges of effectively implementing international and constitutional human rights standards in the face of systemic violence and discrimination. The volume brings together scholars, legal practitioners, public security professionals, and human rights activists to examine the persistence and normalization of hate-based violence against vulnerable communities—including Indigenous peoples, LGBTQIA+ individuals, Black populations, and religious minorities. Through empirical research, case studies, and theoretical reflections, the chapters trace how racism, misogyny, religious intolerance, and other forms of structural violence manifest in both state and societal practices. Special attention is given to the intersections between criminal justice, public policy, and human rights law. Topics covered include the typification and prosecution of hate crimes, the role of the police and judiciary in preventing and responding to intolerance, the impacts of religious and racial discrimination, and the protection of historically marginalized groups under international human rights law. This book not only diagnoses problems but also proposes viable pathways to improve institutional responses and promote a culture of rights and equality. It will be of particular interest to researchers, graduate students, policymakers, legal professionals, public security officers, and all those engaged in the struggle for human rights and social justice in Latin America and beyond"-- Springer Nature Link
