Hate crimes and their handling in the criminal process
This study investigates how hate crimes are identified at the different stages of the criminal procedure; how the suspicion of a possible hate motive is relayed from the police to the prosecutor; and how it affects the severity of the sentence. Hate crimes reported to the police in 2017 were followed up as cases progressed from pre-trial investigation to the prosecutor, ending up in district courts. The author assumes full responsibility for the content of this publication. The views presented are not necessarily representative of those of the European Commission, the funder of the Facts against Hate project, or the positions of Finland’s Ministry of Justice.
