Hate Crimes

Postby Venetoland » Mon Jul 18, 2011 1:41 pm

Does your nation have a problem with hate crimes? Is a particular population at greater risk? Are hate crimes prosecuted differently? In Venetoland, our LGBT population is the most at risk. Hate Crimes are eligible for the death penalty.

Hate crimes are most frequent against those of the Shukyurn tribe, one of the tribes in Vitius before the arrival of settlers and currently the most populated tribe in the nation.

We don't care about the LGBT community (Homosexuality is cracked down while Bisexuality is frowned upon when discussing about how you're Bisexuality in the open so most of Saurisia's Bis keep it in the dark). Nor do we care about the various Human ethnicities. Hell, we don't even have Hate Crime concerning Non-Humans (we just let the citizens deal with such people, typically by shunning).

The Intergalactic Republic of Kreanoltha does not recognize hate as a crime anymore than we do thought. Punishing hate, a natural emotion, is as reductionism as punishing math, which is just a natural thought process. We do punish actions, such as assault, murder, vandalism, and rape, but we refuse to punish someone a spoken word or a sign that offends a group of people; even if they are the majority of our population.

Hate Crimes are not legally treated differently than any other crime.In Karmaimps often(Although not always)the judge will allow the victim to decide the punishment of the guilty.So a hate crime could ultimately have a harder or lighter punishment than a normal crime depending on the mercy of the victim.

There is no such classification as "hate crime" all crimes are equally criminal if violating a law. The closest one could get to a hate crime is the crime of griefing, or consistantly, repeated and/or continually causing grief to other citizens. Grief is defined intentionally causing harm either mentally or physically to an individual and/or group of individuals. Harm being defined as damage, either or mental or physical, done to the individual or group of individuals. Damage is defined by the trial-attending physician/psychiatrist along with the judge. Greifing charges are rare as many charges can overlap into the griefing definition and are chosen instead of a charge of griefing.

Charges of griefing are handled by the Department of Standards & Equality (DSE) a sub-divison of the Federal Security Directorate (FSD), which has delegated the duty to the Rusich National Police (RNP).

There is a lot of red tape when it comes to Hate Crimes, mainly due to the fact that hate crimes can only be persecuted if the reason for the crime was based on a factor that generalizes a certain population that the victim was part of.
This prevents people being persecuted for hate crimes when the crime was committed for another reason
This how ever does make it very difficult to persecute certain criminals

Crimes motivated by hate do occur from time to time yes, but they do not warrant specific circumstances, as each case is handled individually, nor would the death penalty ever be an option since that's unconstitutional.

The most common crime motivated by hate are crimes committed against those that consume or kill land animals, or use animal byproducts.

Marians don't believe in the concept of hate crime, punishing actions, not feelings. Marians also believe that people normally don't lash out at minorities for no good reason. There is no real need for a hate crime legislation either, since no minorities of any kind are tolerated in Terra Mariana - Marians believe their strength lies in unity and will let no self-proclaimed minorities change that.

Famously, a Marian was once asked to fill a questionnaire while abroad. When asked of his sexual orientation, he would write "Marian". Asked if he had read and understood the question, he said he did perfectly well and repeated his earlier statement. In his mind, the simple fact of being a Marian said it all. This curious incident gives an idea of how Marians regard affiliation with minorities in general.

For this reason, a more appropriate term for Terra Mariana would be "love crime", as there are many quite strict laws against Marians consorting with outsiders and "minorities" of their own kind.

All crimes are considered hate crimes. We do not differentiate crimes on whether the hate was directed to the victim's skin colour, sexuality, wealth or body odour.

We in Purpelia look down at such barbarian practices like political correctness and the term Hate Crime. In fact, we see it as an act of supreme hypocrisy. After all, no single group should be more equal than any other. And offering special protection only reinforces the idea that not all men are equal before the Arch Duke. Hate crimes are nothing else than institutionalized racism. A murder is a murder and an assault is an assault regardless of who the criminal and victim are. And to say anything else is disgusting all in it self. As for speaking up against someone or a certain group is just words and can newer be a crime in it self. Words can not hurt anyone, and the fact that you seek to silence your people and segregate them by race and other norms only inspires us to look down on you. But that is what we have learned to expect. After all you are barbarians the lot of you.

Purpelia does not reflect my actual world views. In fact, the vast majority of Purpelian cannon is meant to shock and thus deliberately insane. I just like playing with the idea of a country of madmen utterly convinced that everyone else are the barbarians. So play along or not but don't ever think it's for real.

I have a big problem with hate crimes. Most of it in my country is religion based, and I have harsh laws against it. We elves do not discriminate on sexuality, race, or gender. Once in a while there's elf on human violence, but most don't stoop that low. Human on elf violence is more common, but they are a minority, so it isn't a very smart thing to do.

Hate crimes against hypertolerant liberals and people who think hate crime is "special" are an extremely major "problem" in the GWO. Oh, and Commies. Can't forget how brutal the citizens treat the Communists, even if the government doesn't touch them.

The law recognizes hate motivation legally (as use in court), etc., but not as a separate punishment outside of Harassment or other damaging crimes (Rape,murder,vandalism,etc.)

Hate crimes are most commonly held against those who carry imitation maple products, which mostly result in petty acts, all others are, while present, scattered and far between one another.
