Are our brains wired to hate? Does online hate incite violence on the
streets? With hate crimes at an all-time high, what can we do to help
turn the tide? Drawing on twenty years of research as well as his own
experience as a hate crime victim, world-renowned criminologist Matthew
Williams uncovers the answers to these pressing questions of our age.
Surveying human behaviour across the globe and reaching back through
time, from our tribal ancestors in prehistory to artificial intelligence
in the twenty-first century, The Science of Hate is a groundbreaking
and surprising examination of the elusive 'tipping point' between
prejudice and hate.
