why the trend toward disinflation over the past two decades is so widespread. The paper is, in fact, an interesting diagnostic exercise in the spirit of an Agatha Christie play—say “Murder on the Orient Express” (or, given the number of possibilities, “And Then There Were None”). In the play, many suspects hated the victim; here, who killed “inflation”? How? Most interestingly, how does this pl...

This research examines how activists mobilise against fake hate profiles on Facebook. Based on six months of participant observation, the article demonstrates how Danish Facebook users organised to combat fictitious Muslim profiles that spurred hatred against ethnic minorities. The article concludes that crowdsourced action by Facebook users is insufficient as a form of sustainable resistance a...

Some users of social media are spreading racist, sexist, and otherwise hateful content. For the purpose of training a hate speech detection system, the reliability of the annotations is crucial, but there is no universally agreed-upon definition. We collected potentially hateful messages and asked two groups of internet users to determine whether they were hate speech or not, whether they shoul...

In this work, we address an important but unexplored topic, namely the neural correlates of hate. In a block-design fMRI study, we scanned 17 normal human subjects while they viewed the face of a person they hated and also faces of acquaintances for whom they had neutral feelings. A hate score was obtained for the object of hate for each subject and this was used as a covariate in a between-sub...

Questionnaire data about criminal victimization experiences were collected from 2,259 Sacramento-area lesbians, gay men, and bisexuals (N = 1,170 women, 1,089 men). Approximately 1/5 of the women and 1/4 of the men had experienced victimization because of their adult sexual orientation. Hate crimes were less likely than nonbias crimes to have been reported to police. Compared with other recent ...

When a crime is committed by an individual of one race against an individual of another race, there is the possibility that the crime is a hate crime.

This study used vignettes of violent crimes to examine how the races of the perpetrators ...
