Demonstrates why reading the entire thread before posting sometimes is a good thing: quote:
ORIGINAL: JVoV https://www.ohiobar.org/ForPublic/Resources/LawYouCanUse/Pages/Ohio-Law-Allows-Increased-Penalties-for-Hate-Crimes.aspx Q: Sometimes I hear a crime described as a “hate crime.” What, exactly, is a hate crime? A: Ohio law broadly defines hate crimes as criminal acts motivated by prejudice or intolerance and directed toward a member of a gender, racial, religious or social group. Ohio law does not, however, consider hate crimes as stand-alone offenses. Rather, they are considered as factors in determining penalties or sentences for other crimes. The only Ohio statute that speaks directly to hate crimes is the “ethnic intimidation” provision under section 2927.12 of the Ohio Revised Code, which prohibits commission of the misdemeanor crimes of aggravated menacing, menacing, criminal damaging, criminal mischief, and some types of telephone harassment, when done “by reason of” the race, color, religion or national origin of another person or group of persons. Beat me to it, JVOV!
