Vera-Gray, Fiona and Fileborn, Bianca (2022) Hiding the harm? An argument against misogyny hate crime. In: Landscapes of hate. Spaces and Practices of Justice . Bristol University Press, Bristol, pp. 38-57. ISBN 9781529215205
This chapter critiques the move towards the inclusion of misogyny in hate crime legislation and practice. The chapter argues that classifying the harassment and violence that women and girls experience as hate distracts attention from the multiple and complex experiences of violence, hostility and exclusion that women experience in society.
The chapter responds to the key claims in feminist campaigns supporting the change, which include both substantive benefits and conceptual purposes of misogyny hate crime. The chapter concludes by proposing a public health approach to violence against women and girls, including improved data gathering, and non-criminal justice system responses, such as education and capacity-building prevention initiatives.
