The literal meaning of hate crime means a crime motivated by racial, sexual or other prejudice, typically one involving the violence. A hate crime is also known as a bias motivated crime or bias crime as it is a prejudice motivated crime usually violent, which occurs when a perpetrator targets a victim because of his as her membership (or perceived membership) in a certain social group or race.
