Certainly, some types of behavioral issues are functions of immaturity or of stages of development and personality or identity experimentation. However, bona fide delinquency issues should not be excused as features of personality, largely because doing so undermines the development of personal responsibility and the realization that negative behaviors have negative consequences. Which represents the greatest threat to society: multiple murder, workplace violence, or violent bias crimes?

It is difficult to compare the three types of crimes by listing them in order because so much depends on context. For example, violent bias crimes could include multiple murders. In general, multiple murders are relatively rare outside of environments where criminality is already at issue, such as in connection with organize crime and criminal gang rivalries. Workplace violence is comparatively rare when it comes to serious crimes such as murder but much more common if one considers other lesser forms of violence such as physical intimidation of individual workers by others. Bias crimes are extremely serious to the quality of society, especially if they are not strictly and appropriately addressed by the authorities. Where bias crimes involve violence, they can completely...

Therefore, I would consider violent bias crimes to be the most serious of the three choices in many circumstances and contexts.
Even without violence, systemic bias in society is tremendously detrimental to the entire community because it destroys the shared sense of community that is a prerequisite for harmonious interrelations among and between the many different racial, ethnic, and cultural groups that are comprised by the society. Particularly in the United States, permitting rampant bias along any of those lines fundamentally conflicts with our most important defining principles of law and justice, especially the concept or equal protection.

Meanwhile, any widespread bias in society also greatly increases the relative risk of violence related to racial and ethnic tensions. Those tensions always hold the potential for erupting into acute violence spontaneously in response to specific events or circumstances. Finally, there is also a strong argument that rampant bias and violent bias crimes are more threatening to society than crimes such as multiple murders or workplace violence simply because violent bias crimes can include both of those types of crimes.
