How does socialism play a role in Fyodor Dostoevsky's "Crime and punishment?" I have no idea where to even start...

It doesn't. Crime and Punishment was first published in 1866, half a century before the revolution of 1917. Russia was still a monarchy state.

Good that you asked. The hate crime laws have nothing to do with who the victim is. Rather, they address the *motive* for the offense. So, if a gay guy and a straight guy are both murdered in an armed robbery, the penalty for both crimes will be equal. It becomes a hate crime if the gay guy is murdered *because of his sexual orientation.* It's also a hate crime if a *straight* guy is murdered because of his sexual orientation. So the law applies to all of us. There is ample precedent, because motive has always been of crucial importance in sentencing decisions.

Feodor lived before the 1917 socialist revolution and did not espouse it at all in crime and punishment.
crime is concerned more with individual/collective psychology. i cant view that as socialism though.
cant figure it out.... i have no idea too.
good luck all the same. hope someone helps.
