Find a recent hate crimes case (from January 2015 until the present) in a reputable newspaper (New York Times, LA Times, Chicago Tribune, etc.) and link the article in your paper's references. This case must be from the United States and must have ended with a plea bargain, guilty verdict, found innocent, etc. No papers about cases without verdicts. Using the case you've found, consider the ideas and examples presented in class. Having considered this material (lecture and readings), summarize the case (max. 1-page summary) and then answer the following types of questions in an essay format: 1. What constitutes a hate crime? 2. Why is the case you found not simply a "parallel" crime? 3. How do we know a hate crime when we see one? 4. What evidence was present in your case? 5. What distinguishes a hate crime from, say, a merely malicious or hateful act? 6. Was your case an example of a symbolic or actuarial bias offense? 7. How does the law handle the issue of "motivation" or "intention" in respect to your case? 8. Do you believe the outcome of the case was fair? Why or why not? Use evidence. Format: The paper should be approximately 4-5 page in length and must be typed and double-spaced. Your paper should include a minimum of four citations to the course readings, class lectures, and any relevant scholarly material. Please use proper APA formatting for your paper (including the title page and references) as well as citations. Remember to avoid the first person (I, me, my, we, etc.) in academic writing
