Brian Levin, director of California State University, San Bernardino’s Center for the Study of Hate and Extremism, was interviewed for a segment about the link between political rhetoric and hate crimes, such as the fatal shooting of three people in Jacksonville, Fla., on Aug. 26.
Levin says there are consistent correlations related to a catalyst and rhetoric. “It’s very hard to connect one person to another person’s violence,” he said. “But what we have seen correlated time and time again, is when negative statements are made by leaders and stereotypical and conspiracist in nature, we see an uptick in not only violence, and murders. Yet, when political leaders have spoken tolerantly, we have examples where hate crimes have gone down.”
