Regardless of place and time, hatred exists in society. It is easy to find clear examples of act that would be labeled hate or hate crime today. However, it is not simple a crime in which the offender hate s the victim. In fact, most crimes involving hatred crime between th e parties would not fall under the legal definition of hate crime. It is need that hate crime is more considered as serious crime rat her than general crimes because the victim of the hate crime is not only to individuals but also to groups and society as a whole. To prevent crime, I think it is necessary to consider ways to crimi nalize hate crime and to impose aggravated punishment according t o the nature of hate crime law. It is necessary to consider revising t he current law to allow national agencies to conduct hate crime stat istics surveys to analyze the damage. Also, I think it is necessary to consider policy to order the offender's education program to preven t hate crimes and reduce repeat offenses. However, if hate crime le gislation is practically difficult, it is necessary to add hate crime mo tivation to the sentencing standards of the sentencing committee.
