This week marks the 10th anniversary of the murder of Matthew Shepard.  The 21-year old student at the University of Wyoming was brutally beaten in a hate crime and died from severe head injuries.  The issues of hate crime legislation continue to be debated in the public arena and in our country's law schools.  Here is a partial list of materials available at SCU libraries that pertain to hate crimes and hate crime legislation.
