I have been particularly concerned with certain groups like holocaust
revisionists, skinheads, other groups that have narrow and hatefilled
political agendas. Do internet communities give them the support to act out
their intentions as hate crimes with more frequency than if they lacked
this support? I would be interested in literature or anecdotes on this
topic.
