Alternative viewpoints may include considering the historical context of lynching and its relationship to hate crimes, as well as the potential for underreporting of lynching cases ^{[6] [7]}. Additionally, the sources do not provide information on the investigation and prosecution processes for hate crimes, including lynching cases ^{[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8]}.
