The current study examined hate crime perpetrators under the guidance of Berkowitz's theory of cognitive neoassociation, which posits that negative affect (unpleasant, bad feelings) increases the likelihood that hostile aggression will ensue. Specifically, provocation (causing anger or resentment), bias (inclination that inhibits impartial judgment), and arousal (increased sensation resulting in negative feelings) were assessed in 231 individuals who committed hate crimes in the city of Los Angeles in 2003 to determine their effect on the level of violence perpetrated. Hate crimes based on the victims' perceived race (53.9%), sexual orientation (28.7%), or religion (15.9%) were examined.Subjects--Topical Terms:

520 $a The current study examined hate crime perpetrators under the guidance of Berkowitz's theory of cognitive neoassociation, which posits that negative affect (unpleasant, bad feelings) increases the likelihood that hostile aggression will ensue. Specifically, provocation (causing anger or resentment), bias (inclination that inhibits impartial judgment), and arousal (increased sensation resulting in negative feelings) were assessed in 231 individuals who committed hate crimes in the city of Los Angeles in 2003 to determine their effect on the level of violence perpetrated. Hate crimes based on the victims' perceived race (53.9%), sexual orientation (28.7%), or religion (15.9%) were examined.
520 $a Analysis indicated that hate crimes motivated by the victims' sexual orientation were more violent compared to racial or religious hate crimes.
520 $a Provocation did not produce an effect on level of violence. However, when examining hate crimes committed by women who were moderately or highly provoked, the trend in the data indicated that violence was greater, even when compared to similar crimes committed by a male perpetrator.
520 $a A moderate positive correlation was found between bias and violence.
520 $a Organized hate group members (neo-Nazis, skinheads, etc.) did not commit more violent crimes when compared to perpetrators who were non-members.
520 $a High levels of arousal resulted in increased severity of violence, but the hypothesized increase in violence in crimes committed by highly aroused organized hate group members did not occur.
520 $a It is unknown why some choose to act violently. In regard to hate crimes, it is especially troublesome to try to determine why crimes, which otherwise are quite similar, differ in levels of violence. The results of this research indicate that negative affect may be one explanation.
520 $a The findings regarding provocation, bias, and arousal are particularly important when determining penalties. When sentencing a perpetrator for a crime, by law one must take into account the danger to society that person poses. If, indeed, the level of violence in a crime was influenced by circumstances that are likely to occur again, for example, when the perpetrator is aroused or biased toward the victim, then sentencing should be adjusted accordingly to decrease the likelihood of future violence.
