Tackling Disability Discrimination and Disability Hate Crime: A Multidisciplinary Guide is an honest and comprehensive examination of existing policy and practice. Approached from academic, professional and personal perspectives, the book traces disability hate crime and discrimination from the past, through the present and culminates in the call for a cross-government response to eliminate disability hate crime and improve professional practice. This book explores the historical roots of hate crimes against people with disabilities, the policy and legislation currently in place to protect them and provides a helpful and authoritative guide on how to respond to disability hate crime and discrimination. Written for professionals, practitioners, academics and those who have been affected by disability discrimination, it is a powerful contribution toward the fight against disability hate crimes.
