The conference will address the phenomenology of hate crimes in Spain from a criminological perspective. Firstly, an approach will be made to the configuration of hate crimes in Spanish legislation, their reality and dimension. It will then go on to deal with specific issues related to the criminal and the victim (profiles, procedural treatment, etc.). To conclude with the objects of study, current work on the social control of these crimes will be presented. Finally, some reflections and current lines of work will be addressed.
