Abstract
This chapter will consider the conceptualisation of hate crime and hate incidents within the UK. It seeks to locate hate crime within an historic framework by considering the diverse ways in which racism was manifested in British society and the underlying reasons for the concerns that were articulated. This discussion forms the background for a more detailed discussion of hate crime and its underlying causes in recent history.
