Hate Crimes
HATE CRIMESName of StudentInstitution AffiliationHATE CRIMESA hate crime is a crime motivated by sexual, racial, cultural, or any other prejudice and in most cases involving acts of violence. On the 5th of September 2017 in the UK, a single mother of four woke up early in the morning like she routinely does only to find her car’s back window smashed in and spray painted with obscene language.

These differences in beliefs have brought a lot of controversy in the world of religion.
