It's been a decade since the designation "hate crime" was established in this country. Has that restructuring of legal language shifted social perceptions of those crimes and their victims? What about in cases of terrorism or gang related crimes? Host Frank Stasio talks about defining and redefining crimes with Lee Baker, associate professor of cultural anthropology at Duke University; Irving Joyner, professor of Law at the North Carolina Central University School of Law; and Joseph E. Kennedy, associate professor at the School of Law at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
