Extractions: Updated version, March 29, 2005 "Gay-slaying verdict: guilty." This was the top story on the Jan. 28 front page of the Arizona Daily Star . It was good to see another blow for justice, and it makes me proud to live in a community that takes these things seriously. Anti-gay activists are eager to point to the FBI's annual Hate Crime Statistics as evidence that gays and lesbians are not particularly "oppressed" compared to anybody else. But as is always the case in such contentions, there is more to the story than meets the eye. Federal law requires that the FBI solicit quarterly hate crime statistics from local law enforcement agencies, which the FBI compiles and releases in annual reports. The categories for which the FBI is responsible for tracking include race, religion, sexual orientation, ethnicity and disability. Congress requires the FBI to track sexual orientation even though there are no provisions in federal law for prosecuting hate crimes based on sexual orientation. So at least on a federal level, this exercise is purely informational as far as sexual orientation is concerned. The most recent report for 2003 was released last November ( PDF: 14MB/166 pages ). The breakdown of hate crime incidents by category for all states looks like this:

The lack of precise data only highlights the need for resources to study and track the problem. Under the Hate Crime Statistics Act of 1990 and its extension in 1996, the Attorney General collects data on the number of crimes committed each year that are motivated by "prejudice based on race, religion, sexual orientation, or ethnicity." The Attorney General has directed the Federal Bureau of Investigation's Uniform Crime Reporting Program to collect the data and produce annual reports. Meanwhile, the FBI has trained almost 3,700 staff members from almost 1,200 state, local, and federal law enforcement agencies on how to prevent, prosecute, and deal with the aftermath of hate crimes.

Extractions: home resource directory disorders quizzes ... support forums Advertisement ( A hate crime bias crime ), loosely defined, is a crime committed because of the perpetrator's prejudices. This is a controversial political issue within the US . The US Congress HR 4797 ) defined a hate crime as: "[a crime in which] the defendant's conduct was motivated by hatred , bias, or prejudice, based on the actual or perceived race , color, religion national origin ethnicity gender ... sexual orientation or gender identity of another individual or group of individuals." In , the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act added disabilities to the above list. In the last decade of the 20th century, U.S. legislation in many states has established harsher penalties for a number of crimes when they are also considered hate crimes; interestingly, however, very few of these statutes make it more likely for a murder to trigger the death penalty when it is found to have also been a hate crime. While some claim that these hate crimes laws exist because women and certain minorities have been victims and require special protection, others say that they exist because crimes motivated by hate deserve a harsher punishment. The State of California's Hate Crime statute, Penal Code Section 422.6, offers a wider interpertation of hate crime, as those acts "committed because of the victim's actual or perceived race, color, religion, ancestry, national origin, disability, gender, or sexual orientation. The actions considered criminal are using force or threat of force to willfully injure

Recipient of a 1993 Myers Center Award for the Study of Human Rights in the United States. Overview Thousands of antigay crimes have been reported. Many thousands more go unacknowledged every year, the survivors fearing further victimization from a hostile society. A balance of science and advocacy, Hate Crimes seeks to understand this frightening phenomenon. This unique anthology will be indispensable to scientists, practitioners, and policy makers concerned about antigay violence as well as the broader issue of hate crimes against minority groups. Lay readers will find it disturbing and, at times, shocking. Beginning with an overview of antigay violence and victimization, the contributors consider such issues as: the social context of hate crimes; documenting victimization; the social psychology of bigotry and bashing; treatment and service interventions; violence against lesbian and gay male youths; conceptualizing antigay violence; and mental health consequences of antigay violence. Findings from empirical research and professional practice are juxtaposed with devastating first-person accounts by survivors of hate crimes. The editors conclude with implications for public policy. Ending hate crimes is everyone's responsibility. Readable and compelling

Extractions: page: Hate Crimes is a recent category in the law that distinguishes crimes against a person or his or her property when motivated by bias towards a group or groups from the same crimes when not animated by the offending bias. Types of offending bias include crimes motivated by the victim's race, color, religion, national origin, and, more controversially, sexual orientation and gender identity. Whereas demarcating a category in the law for crimes animated by a desire to inflict some form of harm on a member of a group characterized by its racial heritage or religious beliefs may rest comfortably with most Americans, who tend to react negatively against racial or religious bias, the inclusion of sexual orientation and gender identity as categories has proved more challenging, perhaps because of the ambiguous social status of gay men, lesbians, and transgendered persons in American society, or, in the case of gender, the question of whether it is appropriate to consider crimes of rape or domestic violence, already fairly well-delineated in the criminal law, as hate crimes against women.
Campaign Against Hate Crimes Wins Widespread Support When the attorney general of the United States herself cannot get reliable During the White House hate crimes conference, several speakers countered http://www.now.org/nnt/01-98/campaig.html
Extractions: Communications Director After pressing for over a decade, NOW scored a victory in its campaign to expand the federal hate crimes law to include hate crimes based on sex, sexual orientation and disability. When the Clinton administration in November backed those changes, activists garnered both political and tactical support for a campaign that now moves to Congress The administration's announcement came during a day-long White House Conference on Hate Crimes Nov. 11, which NOW President Patricia Ireland attended and local activists viewed via satellite downlinks. It was held days after top NOW leaders met with Attorney General Janet Reno to stress the importance of expanding not only the prosecution, but also the documentation of these crimes. During the meeting, Attorney General Reno said she had been stymied when preparing a speech on violence against women because she could not find reliable statistics, according to NOW President Patricia Ireland. "When the attorney general of the United States herself cannot get reliable data, we know we have a serious problem," Ireland said. Bonnie Campbell , director of the Office of Violence Against Women at the Justice Department , said at the same meeting that the largest number of complaints her office receives are from women who find state and local authorities fail or refuse to enforce the law, especially restraining orders. Campbell said her office is also concerned about complaints that law enforcement personnel cover up hate crimes against women, citing cases in which police evidence and reports disappear before the women can bring their claims.

Extractions: Lesbian Rights Program Director Despite an increase in bias-motivated crimes, including the bombing of a lesbian bar in Atlanta, the federal government does not have the authority to investigate or prosecute offenses motivated by a person's real or perceived sex or sexual orientation. NOW is working to change that. In coalition with other civil rights organizations, NOW is lobbying members of Congress to amend the existing federal hate crimes criminal statute to include sexual orientation and gender-bias crimes. The coalition's unanimous decision to add gender was a radical change, inspired in part by the Atlanta bombings. It comes some eight years after NOW called the first meeting of coalition allies to discuss adding gender-motivated crimes to federal legislation. While other federal laws provide increased penalties and data collection for certain hate crimes, NOW is working to amend Section 245 of Title 18 of the U.S. Criminal Code, which allows the federal government to investigate and prosecute bias-motivated crimes based on race, religion and ethnicity, but not sex or sexual orientation. The Atlanta lesbian bar bombing highlights the need for Section 245 to include both gender and sexual orientation. As is common with hate violence against lesbians, we may never know if the bombing was a targeted attack on women in general or lesbians in particular. Nevertheless, the federal government could only investigate the bombing because it was a serial attack following the bombing of an Atlanta abortion clinic. Otherwise, the FBI would have no jurisdiction to investigate the case as a hate crime. Lack of a Georgia hate crimes law also prevented a state-level investigation.

"It is the only way in which you're going to be able to figure out where you have to combat prejudice, where you have to combat crime, and where ultimately the educational efforts are necessary to turn this around," Giuliani told conference attendees June 19. In his remarks, he discussed compiling such statistics as the first of eight suggestions. The other points, which he covered in a later conference session, were: Encourage all participating states to pass hate crime legislation Establish regular meetings to analyze the data and an annual meeting to examine the overall performance Set up educational programs in all the participating states about anti-Semitism Discipline political debate so that the disagreements over Israel and Palestine don't slip over into a demonizing attack on the Jewish people Refute hate-filled lies at an early stage Remember the Holocaust accurately; resist any revisionist attempt to downplay its significance
