A more precise mapping of the actions of «hate groups» as well as its repression, were included in the strategic treatment of acts of terrorism and security threat in the United States in recent decades. The same trend has occurred in European countries due to the growth of extreme right and xenophobia. Two chronological milestones are key to understanding significant changes and a new approach of U.S. authorities concerning the action of «hate groups», whether supremacists or the militia: the attacks of September 11, 2001, and the election of Obama in 2008. This article seeks to contribute to the understanding of both the change in the concept of «terrorism», and the identification of the effects of this change reflected in new guidelines for hate crimes as well as the classification and mapping of the actions of extremist right-wing American groups.Downloads
