Abstract

The Thin Line Between Love and Hate: Why Affinity-Based Securities and Investment Fraud Constitutes a Hate Crime, 36 U.C. Davis 1073 (2003) explores the parallels between the prototypical hate crime and affinity fraud - securities and investment fraud that targets identifiable religious, racial and ethnic groups - and asserts that those parallels justify treating affinity fraud as a hate crime.
