About the Book

At what point does prejudice become hate crime? Hate crimes are spiraling to an all-time high on both sides of the Atlantic, with minorities experiencing the largest increase in hostility towards their race, nationality, sexuality and religion since records began. Whilst recent political turmoil could be a contributing factor to this spike, Professor Matthew Williams shows that there is nothing temporary about the hate that has been stirred up. Drawing on 20 years of experience as a criminologist studying and interviewing the victims and perpetrators of hate - combining neuroscience, psychology, sociology, computer science and economics - The Science of Hate examines the illusive 'tipping point' at the intersection of prejudice and hate, traversing the globe and reaching back through history, from our tribal ancestors in pre-history to artificial intelligence in the 21st century.

Review :
"Hate speech online has escalated to unprecedented levels. Matthew Williams, a professor of criminology, is shining a scientific light on who is behind it and why . . . a rallying cry." -- OBSERVER "If we want to come together, we must take a cold hard look at what is keeping us apart. The Science of Hate does just that." -- GUARDIAN "Fascinating . . . A harrowing but illuminating work." -- EVENING STANDARD "What motivates hate crime and how can it be reduced? These questions cross disciplinary boundaries in the social sciences, from criminology to sociology and psychology. So, too, does The Science of Hate, expertly weaving together perspectives from different disciplines, to explore these questions." -- THE PSYCHOLOGIST "Cutting to the heart of today's crowded discourse on the human struggle to navigate difference, The Science of Hate offers a crystal-clear and level-headed investigation of what, exactly, drives individuals to the point of committing hateful violence, coupled with seven actionable steps for combating hate in ourselves and others. Williams has synthesized a deeply personal motivation and decades of empirical insight to stunningly relevant effect." --Eric Cervini, author of The Deviant's War "An important read, combining an expert use of data with moving, personal storytelling. A key text for how we live now." -- David Baddiel "For years, I have puzzled over the peculiar seductiveness of hatred and have wished there were a single, clear volume that helped me understand it better. Now there is." -- Joseph Margulies, Civil Rights Attorney, Professor at Cornell University and author of Guantanamo and the Abuse of Presidential Power "Matthew Williams has the answers to questions we all have, and has articulated them with detailed research, knowledge and understanding . . . This book is essential reading to understand the time we live in. The real life case studies of people and events are captivating and compelling, and are written with empathy and intelligence." -- Shazia Mirza
