Miami Hate Crime Lawyer
What Is a Hate Crime?
A hate crime is much like a traditional crime, with the added element that it was committed out of bias due to the victim's:
- Race
- Nationality
- Sexual orientation
- Disability
- Religion; or
- Political beliefs
Although hate itself is not a crime, committing a crime against another person for any of the reasons listed above may result in hate crime charges.
State, local and federal government agencies take active roles in preventing, investigating and prosecuting hate crimes throughout Miami and the surrounding areas. This means that a person who is accused of committing a hate crime will likely face an aggressive investigation, serious criminal charges and harsh penalties if convicted.
In fact, increased penalties may be enforced upon convictions for criminal offenses that are determined to be hate crimes. It is the grave nature of a hate crime that makes it a dangerous offense to be arrested or even under investigation for.
