NEA: 2001 Issue Paper -- Hate Crime Prevention Hate crime prevention. The Need for Federal Hate crime Legislation removes unnecessaryobstacles to federal prosecution and allows federal involvement in crimes http://www.nea.org/lac/papers/hacrime.html
Extractions: June 2001 Hate Crime Prevention Overview T he National Education Association (NEA) believes that hate-motivated violence including physical and verbal attacks against individuals or groups because of their race, color, religion, national origin, gender, disability, sexual orientation, or other physical or mental characteristics or beliefs is deplorable. Combating hate crimes requires a comprehensive federal/state/local partnership in which federal authorities can assist state and local enforcement efforts. In addition, public schools must be given the opportunity and resources to confront the issue of hate crimes. Background The Rising Incidence of Hate-Motivated Violence. NEA defines hate crimes as offenses motivated by hatred against a victim based on his or her beliefs or mental or physical characteristics, including race, ethnicity, and sexual orientation. In recent years, America has witnessed a startling increase in such incidents of hate and violence in schools and communities. Also troubling is the dramatic increase in Internet web sites targeted to promote intolerance, racism, and anti-Semitism among children and teenagers. In 1998 alone, the FBI reported nearly 8,000 incidents of hate-motivated violence, and many more hate crimes likely go unreported. Teenagers and young adults account for a significant proportion of the country's hate crimes both as perpetrators and victims. In 1994, people under the age of 20 committed about half of all hate crimes, and a majority of hate crimes were committed by young white males against persons of other races.

Extractions: Backgrounder The National Crime Prevention Strategy at Work in Ontario In Ontario, 145 organizations have received $8,589,862 through the National Crime Prevention Strategy to support their efforts to tackle the root causes of crime and victimization. The National Strategy is a fundamental component of the Government of Canada's commitment to reduce crime and victimization and continue building a nation of safer homes and streets. It is part of a multi-faceted public safety agenda, led by the Minister of Justice and Attorney General of Canada and the Solicitor General of Canada, that balances a vigorous response to crime with a determined attack on its root causes. The Strategy works together with citizens, communities, municipalities, all provincial and territorial governments as well as other partners. The Strategy is built on the common sense principle that the best way to reduce crime is to focus on the factors that put individuals at risk - factors such as family violence, school problems, and drug abuse. The National Strategy helps communities by providing the tools, knowledge and supports they need to deal with these factors.

Community Involvement Asset Or Liability CLD conference practice workshop Henry Shaftoe and Steve Osborn, 10 Feb2000. Community involvement in crime prevention asset or liability? http://www.uwe.ac.uk/fbe/commsafe/assli2000.htm
Extractions: creating safer cities Looking for something specific? Search our archives CLD conference practice workshop: Henry Shaftoe and Steve Osborn, 10 Feb 2000. Community Involvement in Crime Prevention asset or liability? Sustainable reductions in neighbourhood crime and insecurity are best maintained if local people have been involved in defining the problems and "owning" the solutions. Traditionally crime control was seen as a job for the police. However, there has been increasing recognition in government and even amongst the police themselves, that citizens have a key role to play. This role can be performed in three different ways, as outlined in the diagram below: These three approaches are not mutually exclusive and, over time, one type of action may transform into another. For example an issue campaign instigated by local residents frustrated by the proliferation of drug misuse in their neighbourhood may lead to them setting up their own drugs information and support network, which could then lead to collaboration with the local authority/health authoritiy drugs prevention strategies. Community involvement in crime prevention has large potential assets, but there may also be liabilities from a professional and rational viewpoint.

"The study aims to contribute to the National Crime Prevention Strategy (NCPS) by enriching the gender perspectives already contained in the NCPS document and to provide insight into Free State communities' view of the CJS, crime prevention and the causes of crime", says Dr Willem Schurink, chief research specialist at the HSRC. A total of 78 focus group interviews and 86 face-to-face interviews were conducted by community members who had been trained for this purpose. The research yielded important findings and policy recommendations for the transformation of the CJS and crime prevention. The key policy recommendation that emerged from the study indicates the need for the transformation of the CJS with specific reference to gender sensitisation. The view of the Free State communities was that community involvement should form a major part of that transformation.

Extractions: CRIME PREVENTION A Message from Allegheny County Sheriff PETE DEFAZIO The Allegheny County Sheriff's Office is deeply committed to serving the residents of Allegheny County in as many ways as possible with the limited personnel of the department. It is our continued intention to provide the best possible service at the lowest possible cost without sacrificing the quality of such services. As the Chief Law Enforcement Officer in Allegheny County, I believe I have a responsibility to take a pro-active approach to fighting crime, and there is no question in my mind that our efforts in Crime Prevention and Community-Oriented Policing are extremely effective in educating our citizens in ways to prevent crime, and avoid being victims of crimes. "The Allegheny County Sheriff's Office participation in Community Relations, Crime Prevention and Community-Oriented Police Services is quite extensive. Our programs provide many beneficial services to a large segment of County residents of various age groups on a broad range of law enforcement and safety topics. Most importantly, perhaps, is our emphasis on citizen involvement in the fight against crime. We in the Allegheny County Sheriffs Office will do everything we can to fight crime and protect our citizens. And whats more, in Allegheny County, we have perhaps the best system of local, municipal law enforcement in the whole country. I am not aware of any community in the United States where local law enforcement is so community-oriented and pro-active as our borough, township and city police officers in Allegheny County. But short of putting a police officer on every corner of every street in this county, law enforcement officers cannot do the job alone. We need and want active citizen participation in our Crime Prevention efforts. Together, we can help ensure that this remains one of the safest communities in America.
