In an era when reported hate crimes are increasing dramatically, it is troubling that there appears to be, at best, an uneven response to the problem from law enforcement in Canada. Our pilot study of policing hate crime in Ontario is the first attempt to understand whether and how law enforcement think about and act on hate crime. Interviews with officers in eight police forces across eastern and southern Ontario ( N = 38) uncovered three clusters of factors that appear to shape how they manage hate crime: environmental, organizational, and individual. What we offer in this paper is a series of related recommendations for enhancing police responses to hate crime along each of the three dimensions.

“我们不在我们应该去的地方”：加强对仇恨犯罪的执法反应

在报告的仇恨犯罪急剧增加的时代，令人不安的是，加拿大执法部门对该问题的反应似乎充其量是不平衡的。我们在安大略省监管仇恨犯罪的试点研究是第一次尝试了解执法部门是否以及如何思考和应对仇恨犯罪。对安大略省东部和南部 (N = 38) 的八支警察部队的官员进行的采访发现了三组似乎影响他们如何管理仇恨犯罪的因素：环境、组织和个人。我们在本文中提供了一系列相关建议，以加强警察对仇恨犯罪的应对三个方面的每一个方面。
