This phenomenon is very complex due to the wide variety of actors who are senders of hate speeches and the different interacting variables.

Bias motivation is a basic element of hate crime that is compiled by national and European law. The law constrains to a closed list of reasons that individuals can allocate as hate crimes: racist acts, anti-Semitic reasons, ideology, religion or beliefs, family situation, belonging to an ethnic group, race or nation, national origin, sex, sexual orientation or identity and reasons of gender, illness or disability.
