4.1.2.1 Three Types of Operational Approaches to the Problem of Hate Crime
Most interviewees recognized the extensiveness of problems related to prejudice, xenophobia and discrimination in Poland. In spite of the specificity of each group’s focus, we identified three different perspectives concerning the term »hate crime« that arose during the interviews:
1. Combating hate crimes as an explicit component of an organization’s agenda
2. Hate crime replaced with other terms
3. The term hate crime found problematic, avoided or seen as a relatively insignificant issue
