SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Purpose
To disseminate information and provide training and technical
assistance on promising approaches to prevent and reduce incidents of
hate crimes and hate-related behavior committed by youth.
Background
Hate crime is a serious problem in the United States, not only
because of the number of individual victims but also because of the
devastating impact hate violence has on families, communities, and
institutions. Over the past few years, the Nation has witnessed an
alarming number of violent hate crimes motivated by the perpetrators'
bias toward their victims' perceived racial or
[[Page 39194]]
ethnic identity, religion, nationality, sexual orientation, gender, or
disability.
Since the enactment of the 1990 Hate Crime Statistics Act (HCSA),
the Federal Government has worked to establish national statistics on
hate crimes. In response to the 1990 law, the Attorney General directed
the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) to add hate crime as a
category in the Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program. Although hate
crime reporting by law enforcement agencies is voluntary under Federal
law, the Justice Department has provided extensive training to State
and local law enforcement agencies, resulting in increased reporting
and improved programs for responding to hate crimes.
The 1990 HCSA defined hate crimes as ``crimes that manifest
evidence of prejudice based on race, religion, sexual orientation, or
ethnicity.'' The Violent Crime and Law Enforcement Act of 1994 amended
the HCSA to include crimes motivated by bias against persons with
disabilities in the definition of hate crimes.
Analysts in the field have noted that reporting under the HCSA has
increased public awareness of, and improved local law enforcement's
response to, hate crime violence; however, the reporting records remain
incomplete. Because hate crime reporting by law enforcement agencies is
voluntary under Federal law, experts believe the data do not completely
describe the number and nature of hate crimes that occur nationally. In
spite of these irregularities, the Hate Crime Statistics data for 1998
indicated that 9,235 hate crimes were reported in that year.
To increase hate crime awareness and support hate crime prevention
efforts, the 1992 reauthorization of the Juvenile Justice and
Delinquency Prevention Act of 1974, as amended (Pub. L. 93-415, 42
U.S.C. 5601 et seq.), authorized the Office of Juvenile Justice and
Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP) to fund research, training, and program
efforts in support of hate crime awareness, education, and prevention.
Congress directed OJJDP to establish and/or support model educational
programs designed to prevent or reduce incidents of hate crimes by
juveniles, including (1) programs that address prejudicial attitudes of
juveniles, develop awareness of the effect of hate crime on the victim,
and educate the offender about the importance of tolerance in our
society and (2) sentencing programs for juveniles who commit hate
crimes (42 U.S.C. 5665 (a)(9)).
In 1994, the Safe and Drug-Free Schools and Communities Act was
reauthorized as part of the Improving America's Schools Act (Pub. L.
103-382). One of the most significant changes was the authorization of
school violence prevention activities. The focus on school safety was
based on a recognition that schools needed to expand the types of
prevention and early intervention activities they were developing to
ensure safe, healthy, disciplined, and drug-free students. In response
to this broadened program authority, Congress authorized the U.S.
Department of Education (ED) to develop education and training
programs, curriculums, instructional materials, and professional
training to prevent and reduce the incidence of crimes and conflicts
motivated by hate in localities most directly affected by hate crimes
(20 U.S.C. 7131).
In general, hate crimes are ``message'' crimes intended to provoke
fear, marginalize members of society, and disrupt the social order. In
recent years, these crimes have incited fear and intimidation in many
communities throughout the Nation. No community is immune. Hate crimes
have been reported in all regions of the country. These crimes have a
wrenching impact on their victims, who are often terrorized and
tormented. They also have a devastating impact on all members of groups
that are the target of hate crime and a corrosive impact on community
and civil rights.
Although existing hate crime data do not present a complete
picture, they are useful in providing important information about the
extent of hate crime, its victims, and its perpetrators. Examination of
such data enables policymakers and professionals to identify the groups
that are most likely to be victimized or become perpetrators and
provide support and guidance for programs, resources, and services.
While schools report that they have few, if any, hate crimes,
educators agree that on a daily basis they deal with various forms of
unacceptable bias-/hate-motivated and related behaviors that disrupt
the learning environment. For the purpose of this program announcement,
hate-related behaviors are defined to include (but are not limited to)
the following: harassment, intimidation, bullying, taunting, graffiti,
name calling, and fighting, when the victim of any of these behaviors
is intentionally selected because of his or her race, color, religion,
national origin, gender, disability, sexual orientation, and/or
physical appearance.
Until recently, scant information has been available on juvenile
involvement as either perpetrators or victims of hate crime. However,
current national, State, and local information sources document an
increasing involvement of juveniles in hate crimes or hate-related
behavior:
According to hate crime data in Massachusetts for the
years 1996 and 1997, nearly 63 percent of perpetrators were under
the age of 21 (Department of Public Safety, 1998).
A 1990 study of New York City police data showed that
the median age for bias offenders was 18 and that 56 percent were
under the age of 21 (Southern Poverty Law Center, 1995).
Additional studies (cited below) have examined the incidence of
hate crimes and the role of juveniles as either the victims or
perpetrators of such crimes. Student surveys also support the view that
hate crime prevention efforts need to be focused on youth.
In a sample of 1,865 high school students attending 10th, 11th, and
12th grades in public, parochial, and private schools across the
country, more than half of the students interviewed claimed that they
had witnessed racial confrontations either ``very often'' or ``once in
a while.'' One in four students said that they were prepared to
intervene in, or even condemn, a confrontation based on racial hatred.
However, almost half of the students interviewed either admitted that
they would join in an attack or agreed that the group under attack was
``getting what it deserved'' (Harris, 1990).
A study of 1,570 elementary, middle, and secondary schools in Los
Angeles County also supports the view that hatred among youth is a
critical problem. Thirty-seven percent of these schools reported
incidents of hate-motivated violence during a school year. Students in
middle and high schools were particularly likely to have experienced
hate violence, with a response rate of 47 percent and 42 percent,
respectively. Thirty-four percent of the elementary schools also
reported hate incidents (Los Angeles Commission on Human Relations,
1990).
A poll conducted by Penn, Schoen & Berland Associates (1999)
revealed that more than 90 percent of young people surveyed thought
that hate crimes were a serious problem. Eighty-nine percent of the
youth believed that the problem of hate crime affects all areas of the
country, and 33 percent indicated that the problem of hate crime has
become more severe.
Although most hate crimes are perpetrated by individuals acting on
their own (Levin and McDevitt, 1993), there is a long history of
organized hatred in the United States. Hate groups contribute to
community unrest and the escalation of community violence.
Developmentally, adolescents may also
[[Page 39195]]
be more susceptible to hate ideology and propaganda. Some hate
propaganda is particularly emotionally charged and can resonate with
angry, alienated, and isolated teens who seek someone to blame for
their unhappiness (Stanton, 1992). The individual juvenile who commits
hate crimes, whether or not he or she is affiliated with an organized
hate group, continues to pose a major challenge to youth-serving
professionals. Another significant challenge is to conceptualize,
fashion, and implement interventions that will modify a juvenile hate
crime offender's prejudice, belief system, and violent behavior. These
challenges require the collaboration of many disciplines to address the
problem comprehensively.
In 1997, the Leadership Conference on Civil Rights (LCCR) and the
Leadership Conference Education Fund published a report entitled Cause
for Concern: Hate Crimes in America, which noted an increasing trend in
hate crime violence and the use of the Internet to spread messages of
hate. This report also indicated that a large number of hate crime
``perpetrators are youthful thrill-seekers, rather than hardcore
haters,'' suggesting that hate crime prevention and education programs
could be effective in reducing hate crime violence committed by
juveniles.
In the same year, the Anti-Defamation League's publication High
Tech Hate: Extremist Use of the Internet discussed the impact of the
Internet on individuals and groups of all ages, especially students
from elementary to college levels. The growth of hate crimes through
this medium challenges all persons working with youth to develop
programs that will provide critical thinking skills and media literacy
to teach youth to resist hate propaganda messages and affiliations that
may be found on the Internet.
OJJDP and the Department of Education's Safe and Drug-Free Schools
(SDFS) Program have recognized the need to provide assistance to help
prevent the commission of hate crimes by juveniles. Since 1997, this
assistance has taken the form of joint funding to support training
programs for policymakers working with communities and youth and
technical assistance to several sites implementing innovative hate
crime prevention initiatives.
In response to the growing demand by communities, law enforcement,
and schools for additional hate crime and hate-related behavior
information, training, and technical assistance, OJJDP and SDFS are
pleased to announce a new competitive program: Hate Crime Prevention: A
Comprehensive Approach. This jointly funded information and training
and technical assistance program is designed to address the problem of
juvenile hate crime and identify effective components of hate crime
prevention programs. The program will focus on (1) disseminating
information about promising practices and available resources; (2)
providing training and technical assistance on effective school-based
hate-related behavior prevention programs; and (3) promoting national
and local level collaboration among youth and professionals from
different disciplines who work with young people (e.g., educators, law
enforcement officers, judges, representatives of community agencies and
organizations, clergy) to support institutional change to prevent and
reduce the incidence of hate crime.
Goals
The goals of this project are twofold:
To enhance awareness of promising approaches to reduce and
prevent incidents of hate crimes committed by youth.
To assist communities, law enforcement, and schools in
providing effective hate crime prevention programs and activities that
prevent and reduce incidents of hate crime and promote greater
tolerance among youth.
Objectives
To accomplish these goals, the Hate Crime Prevention initiative
will:
Improve the knowledge of hate crimes and related issues
among law enforcement, youth-serving professionals, and educators.
Provide training and technical assistance to local youth-
serving agencies, schools, and law enforcement in implementing
promising hate crime and hate-related behavior prevention activities
and programs.
Disseminate information about emerging hate crime and
hate-related behavior prevention issues, programs, and strategies.
Promote collaboration among multidisciplinary
organizations and agencies to prevent, reduce, and respond to hate
crimes and hate-related behavior.
Develop resource materials, publications, and guides to
inform and assist practitioners, policymakers, and communities to
address the problem of hate crimes and hate-related behavior.
Target Population
The major clients to be served with the implementation of the Hate
Crime Prevention: A Comprehensive Approach initiative include youth and
professionals working in:
Juvenile justice, including law enforcement,
prosecutors, and the judiciary.
Education.
Youth-serving organizations representing both
education-related and justice-related audiences.
Criminal justice (as in the juvenile justice category,
the criminal justice audience includes law enforcement, prosecutors,
and the judiciary).

and technical assistance, including measurable goals and objectives.
Applicants should indicate how they will incorporate electronic mediums
for providing training and technical assistance via teleconferencing
and other Internet based modalities. Applicants must also provide
timelines and a description of how the program will provide technical
assistance and training, on the specific hate crime and hate-related
behavior prevention program areas listed below, across diverse
disciplines and jurisdictions.
Hate crime prevention topics to be addressed through training and
technical assistance include the following:
Youth hate crime and hate-related behavior prevention
principles.
Hate crime definitions.
Hate crime and hate-related behavior identification and
the scope of the problem.
Hate crime and hate-related behavior impact and its
relationship to prevention programs.
Tools and materials designed to reduce prejudice and
prevent hate crime and hate-related behavior in communities.
[[Page 39196]]
The legislative and legal issues pertaining to Federal
criminal statutes, the Hate Crime Statistics Act, and State hate
crime legislation, including model hate crime legislation.
Diversion and sentencing innovations for juvenile
offenders.
Effective law enforcement, school, and community hate
crime collaborations.
Strategies for mobilizing communities and schools to
prevent hate crimes and hate-related behavior.
Applicants' training and technical assistance design must reflect
recent research on effective hate crime and hate-related behavior
prevention programming; explain how the delivery and development of
materials will occur, with consideration given to the diverse needs of
the various disciplines involved in implementing hate crime and hate-
related behavior prevention efforts; and provide a plan for producing
program deliverables.
Deliverables
In addition to developing a training and technical assistance
strategy based on the areas described above, the selected applicant
will provide the following deliverables over the 36-month project
period:
Develop a program guide outlining promising, age-
appropriate hate crime and hate-related behavior prevention
activities that can be used in a variety of settings and providing
guidance to those working with elementary school age children. This
guide would also discuss policies that should be developed to
support hate crime and hate-related behavior prevention and provide
suggestions on how to work with children who engage in this
behavior.
Develop a manual for parents, school personnel, and
community members working with youth to provide guidance for helping
school-age youth recognize and make critical choices regarding
messages of racism, prejudice, bigotry, and other hateful material
on the Internet.
Design and deliver two training of trainers (TOT)
courses per year, using existing OJJDP and Department of Education
materials for middle school students to develop a cadre of trainers
capable of training others to develop and implement effective and
innovative hate crime prevention programs and activities in schools
and communities.
Organize and conduct one multidisciplinary regional
training per year for practitioners with the goal of presenting
current knowledge and emerging practices in the area of hate crime
and hate-related behavior prevention and response. This training
must be held in a specific region of the country having a high
incidence of reported hate crime activity and one or more active
public/private hate crime prevention collaborations or programs.
Develop a strategy using existing OJJDP and Department
of Education materials to recruit, train, and include senior high
and middle school students as peer leaders in supporting hate crime
and hate-related behavior prevention activities and develop program
guides to work with middle school and senior high school students.
Develop a plan and deliver one national/State hate
crime and hate-related behavior prevention training per year
targeted to policymakers in the fields of juvenile justice, criminal
justice, and education and in youth-serving organizations.
Develop a plan and provide onsite technical assistance
to three new sites per year. Selection criteria for these sites
should include evidence of multidisciplinary hate crime community
collaboration and an action plan documenting need for assistance to
implement a hate crime and hate-related behavior prevention effort.
Design and implement a plan to promote hate crime
prevention and project activities, including training and technical
assistance activities, to a national audience.
Design and implement appropriate evaluation measures to
assess the training and technical assistance services provided.
Prepare a report summarizing participant training and
technical assistance evaluations to be used for the purpose of
improving future training and technical assistance delivery and
providing insight into existing hate crime and hate-related behavior
prevention needs.
Develop and maintain a hate crime and hate-related
behavior prevention Web site to disseminate information and update
the field about hate crime prevention programs, information, events,
resources, training and technical assistance services, and
strategies for effective alternatives to incarceration for juvenile
hate crime offenders.
Disseminate information through the Web site and other
networks.
Develop three technical assistance bulletins/guides
(one of which will be directed to Federal, State, and local law
enforcement and policymakers, one to teachers and parents, and the
other one to youth) to provide critical information on hate crime
and six technical assistance briefs (two per year) based on case
studies of specific sites that have received training and technical
assistance and are implementing effective or promising hate crime
prevention efforts.
Create and foster active partnerships with other
national public/private organizations involved in promoting
tolerance and hate crime prevention for the purpose of improving
services, providing outreach, avoiding duplication of efforts, and
promoting linkages to facilitate information exchange.
Organize an advisory group of professionals
representative of the broad range of constituencies involved in hate
crime and hate-related behavior prevention issues to provide
guidance on project activities during the grant period. The advisory
group must include educators, parents, and juvenile justice and
criminal justice professionals, among others.
Convene two advisory group meetings each project year.
Applicants should be realistic in setting the cost of deliverables
and in outlining the implementation schedule. Applicants are also
encouraged to be innovative in their approach as OJJDP and ED will
consider nontraditional training and technical assistance delivery
approaches so long as the goals and objectives of the program are met.
