Abstract

Mob lynching is a specific type of hate crime that can be categorised under accused bodily harm created due to physically assaulting a victim by three or more than three individuals. Since the last few centuries, mob lynching has been prevalent in various developed and developing nations where interracial communication scop is present, including India, USA, UK, and South Africa. In most cases, hate crime and mob lynching can both be categorised as deep embedment of superstitious beliefs inside individuals regarding a specific community, depending on the subcultural environment.
