摘要

这篇文章调查了警察和检察官如何理解和谈论他们在仇恨犯罪方面的工作。我们的分析基于罗伯特·莱纳(Robert Reiner)广为认可的观点，即警务本质上是政治性的。我们确定了三个核心问题，说明了警务仇恨犯罪的政治性质。一是区分刑事行为与法律行为的政治偶然边界工作。第二，仇恨犯罪法的执行对社会不平等再现的影响。第三，在少数群体中获得合法性和信任的“多样性政治”，这是仇恨犯罪立法旨在保护的。虽然我们的受访者对监管仇恨犯罪的坚定承诺很明显，但我们想知道，他们所呈现的政治投入话语是否会导致对执法有限效果的批判性反思缺失，以及对种族化犯罪控制和种族主义等紧迫问题缺乏参与。

The Politics of Policing Hate: Boundary Work, Social Inequalities, and Legitimacy

This article investigates how police officers and prosecutors make sense of and speak about their work with hate crimes. Our analysis rests upon Robert Reiner's widely acknowledged claim that policing is inherently political. We identified three core issues that illustrate the political nature of policing hate crimes. First, the politically contingent boundary work of distinguishing criminal from legal acts. Second, the impact of the enforcement of hate crime laws on the reproduction of social inequalities. Third, the “diversity politics” of gaining legitimacy and trust among minorities, which hate crime legislation is meant to protect. While a strong commitment to policing hate crimes is evident among our interviewees, we ask if the politically invested discourse they present may contribute to an absence of critical reflections regarding the limited effect of law enforcement, as well as a lack of engagement with pressing concerns regarding racialized crime control and racism.

期刊介绍： SOCIAL & LEGAL STUDIES was founded in 1992 to develop progressive, interdisciplinary and critical approaches towards socio-legal study. At the heart of the journal has been a commitment towards feminist, post-colonialist, and socialist economic perspectives on law. These remain core animating principles. We aim to create an intellectual space where diverse traditions and critical approaches within legal study meet. We particularly welcome work in new fields of socio-legal study, as well as non-Western scholarship.
