American Skinheads is the first criminological analysis of organized hate crime violence. Mark Hamm presents historical specificity for a modern theory of hate crime, then rigorously tests the theory with interview data derived from skinheads who have committed an array of violent acts against persons because of their race, religion, or sexual preference--people who are members of the classic outgroups of American society. Part One traces the roots of the Skinhead Nation through the Beats, Mods, Hippies, and Punks in London, and then examines the rise of the Neo-Nazi Skinheads in the United States, including a look at Neo-Nazi offshoots (Romantic Violence, The Aryan Youth Movement), recruiters (Tom Metzger), and recruitment tools ( W.A.R. Magazine and Hotline , electronic mail, Race and Reason ), and appearances on the Oprah Winfrey and Geraldo Rivera shows. In Part Two, Hamm discusses the accepted sociological perspectives on terrorist youth subcultures (not gangs), then presents findings of his own study of 36 skinheads, including social and economic characteristics, psychological profiles, the role of skinhead girls, use of drugs and weapons, satanism, and neo-fascism. Part Three assesses the future for American Neo-Nazism and recommends steps for preventing skinhead terrorism.

The author "endeavor to explain how a modern form of Nazism has flourished in markedly different cultures-from the great industrial centers of Western Europe to the streets of Chicago, Dallas, San Francisco, Las Vegas, New York City, Detroit, and Milwaukee-and how it appealed as much to intellectual youth of the day as it has to functionally illiterate factory workers and prisoners who cannot even spell Nazi and Hitler."
