THE SCIENCE OF HATE: HOW PREJUDICE BECOMES HATE AND WHAT WE CAN DO TO STOP IT
Book ID/图书代码： 04560019C00074
English Summary/英文概要： From one of the world’s leading experts in hate crime, The Science
of Hate is an eye-opening, insightful and illuminating examination of
the worldwide rise in hate crime, investigating why some people act
upon their prejudices while others don’t. It is a stimulating and timely
exploration of the tipping point between prejudice and hate crime; of
the moment when thinking becomes doing and an ordinary person
is capable of acting on these troubling impulses.
Hate crimes are spiralling to an all-time high on both sides of the
Atlantic. Minorities are experiencing the largest increase in hostility
towards their race, nationality, and religion since records began.
Recent political turmoil, a string of terror attacks and the rousing of
tensions by right-wing politicians have been blamed for this spike in
hate. But there is nothing temporary about the hate they have stirred
up. We are now living with a new sustained level of intolerance in
society. Right-wing parties in the UK, US, France, Italy, Germany, the
Netherlands and Brazil have seen their numbers swell. Psychological
theories developed to understand the actions of individuals in Nazi
Germany are relevant once again.
In The Science of Hate, Professor Matthew Williams tackles this
pressing social problem, drawing on 20 years of experience as a
criminologist studying the victims and perpetrators of hate. In a timely
analysis, he tackles one of the most elusive questions facing scientists
and society: how do we understand the gap between thinking
prejudice and acting on it. Blending brain science, psychology,
sociology and computer science, this book examines the all illusive
‘tipping point’ at the intersection of prejudice and hate by taking the
reader on a journey across the globe and from our tribal ancestors in
prehistory to artificial intelligence in the twenty-first century.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 作为世界上研究仇恨犯罪的顶尖专家之一，《关于仇恨的科学》对全球范围内仇恨犯罪的上升进行了大开眼界、富有洞察力和启发性的审视，探究了为什么有些人会按照自己的偏见行事，而有些人则不会。它是对偏见和仇恨犯罪之间临界点的一次令人振奋和及时的探索;一个普通人有能力按照这些令人不安的冲动行事。
在大西洋两岸，仇恨犯罪正螺旋上升至历史最高水平。自从有记录以来，少数民族正在经历对他们的种族、国籍和宗教的敌意的最大增长。最近的政治动荡、一连串的恐怖袭击和右翼政客挑起的紧张局势被认为是造成仇恨激增的原因。但是他们所激起的仇恨并不是暂时的。我们现在生活在一个新的、持续的社会不容忍的水平上。英国、美国、法国、意大利、德国、荷兰和巴西的右翼政党人数激增。心理学理论的发展，以了解个人的行为在纳粹德国再次掀起高潮。
在《关于仇恨的科学》一书中，马修·威廉姆斯教授利用20年的犯罪学家研究仇恨的受害者和施暴者的经验，解决了这个紧迫的社会问题。在一个及时的分析中，他解决了科学家和社会面临的一个最难以捉摸的问题:我们如何理解思考偏见和采取行动之间的差距。这本书融合了脑科学、心理学、社会学和计算机科学，通过带领读者穿越全球，从史前的部落祖先到21世纪的人工智能，审视了偏见和仇恨交集的所有虚幻的“引爆点”。（WYL)
