Levin focused his presentation on hate crime, both on college campuses and across the United States. He said he recently made the connection between serial killings and hate crimes after interviewing many killers. He saw that with both, the person committing the crime was searching for power. They wanted to be in control. They kill or act violently to feel more superior, Levin said.
Crime can range from an act of vandalism to murder.
Most of these crimes, Levin said, are by teenage boys who feel something lacking from their lives. They typically look for a single person to target at a time. The leaders lead the group to do such acts. Levin showed many examples of how hate crimes have made history in the United States such as the Columbine killings. These killings are just the same as the violence that goes on at college campuses.
