Abstract

The present dissertation will focus on a comprehensive and multidisciplinary analysis of hate crimes, aiming to deeply understand the intricacies of these offenses. Given the prevalence and increasing occurrence of hate crimes worldwide, it is crucial to address this issue in order to better understand the generated impacts and how different legal systems position themselves on this matter. Thus, we will conduct an exhaustive analysis of the impact of hate crimes on the Portuguese legal system, as well as on international law, intending to thoroughly investigate the legal and social aspects underlying this subject. Moreover, we will focus on the theme of the possible delineation of hate crimes, as well as on the potential influence of societies on the origin and practice of these offenses. Considering the impact of hate crimes on their victims, along with the gaps and structural problems within the Portuguese legal system, we will conclude this study by directing our attention to the presentation of the most appropriate and effective forms of action in combating these crimes.
