This chapter presents a new perspective through which to approach hate offending by utilising a selection of key theories and models on hate crime commission to explore how these can be applied to an intersectional assessment of hate crime and genocide. Through these, the chapter demonstrates how hate crime offending can link to and in some cases lead to genocide, as well as investigates the role of hate crime offending within genocide. As a result, three key arguments are presented: (1) there is a clear relationship between the concepts of hate crime and genocide, which warrants an interdisciplinary approach to the topics; (2) hate crime can play a key role in the development and stages of genocide; (3) models of hate crime offending can be applied to demonstrate the role of and overlap between hate crime and genocide commission. Based on this, the chapter argues that an interdisciplinary exploration of hate crime and genocide can fill an important knowledge gap, providing new insights to the subject areas with significant potential applications for genocide prediction and prevention.
