Exploring the Correlation between Civil Unrest and the Mobilization of Hate in the United States

The mobilization of hate in the United States has greatly ramped up since 2000. There are a lot of factors that go into why hate crimes continue to persist, but civil unrest seems to be one of the biggest factors. Through correlation analyses and regressions, we see that different types of civil unrest; response to police action, social/economic civil unrest, and politically motivated civil unrest, are significant in different ways to the different dependent mobilization of hate variables. Control variables, such as population, median household income, and race, are also explored to see what outside factors could potentially effect the results of these analyses. This thesis explores the correlation between civil unrest and the mobilization of hate and strives to show a significant correlation between the two.
