Across the four jurisdictions on our two islands (England and Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland, and Ireland), a law reform process is underway in relation to hate crime legislation. These are taking very different forms, with England and Wales seeking to reform legislation which is now over twenty years old, and Ireland considering the introduction of such legislation for the first time. This podcast seeks to discuss and analyse some as yet unexplored, or underexplored themes, across these law reform processes. With expert guests each week, the hosts Prof Mark Walters of the University of Sussex and Prof Jennifer Schweppe of the University of Limerick debate key issues in hate crime law reform.

In this episode, Professor Walters and Professor Schweppe are joined by guest Professor James Chalmers, Regius Professor of Law at the University of Glasgow and co-author of the report on hate crime law for the Scottish government entitled 'A Comparative Analysis of Hate Crime Legislation'. They delve into what types, models and legal tests are best suited to tackling hate crime in law, and ask "what frameworks work best when legislating for hate crime?".
