Given below are two statements : one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R). 

Assertion (A) : The term 'Hate Crime' became a part of criminological lexicon, when it was coined by John Conyers and Mario Biaggi. 

Reason (R) : Hate Crime is considered to be an illegal act against a person, institution and property that is motivated by the offenders prejudice against the victim's group membership. 

In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below :

The correct answer is
Both (A) and (R) are correct but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A)

Assertion (A) Analysis: Hate Crime Term Origin

The assertion states that the term 'Hate Crime' entered the criminological lexicon when coined by John Conyers and Mario Biaggi. This assertion is factually considered correct within the context of legislative and academic discussions surrounding hate crimes, particularly referencing efforts in the United States.

Reason (R) Analysis: Hate Crime Definition

The reason provides a definition of 'Hate Crime' as an illegal act motivated by the offender's prejudice against a victim's group membership, affecting a person, institution, or property. This definition accurately captures the core elements of what constitutes a hate crime.

Explanation Link Assessment

While both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are correct statements, Reason (R) defines the concept of a hate crime. Assertion (A) refers to the historical origin and introduction of the term into academic and legal vocabulary. The definition provided in (R) does not explain the specific historical event or context mentioned in (A) regarding how the term was coined or entered the lexicon. Therefore, (R) is not a correct explanation of (A).

Conclusion on Statements

Based on the analysis:

  • Assertion (A) is correct.
  • Reason (R) is correct.
  • Reason (R) is not the correct explanation of Assertion (A).

This corresponds to Option B.
