Italy’s parliament on Tuesday approved a law that introduces femicide into the country’s criminal law and punishes it with life in prison.

    Wouldn’t it be smarter to have a law that simply and generically adds penalties on a crime committed out of hate against a population group?

    So instead of “just” femicide, it could also cover hate against e.g. members of religions, the handicapped, or, in a reverse case, maybe even cover a hate-murder on a man?
