Hate Crimes
In 2006, 7,722 criminal incidents involving 9,080 offenses were reported as a result of bias toward a particular race, religion, sexual orientation, ethnicity/national origin, or physical or mental disability. Hate Crime Statistics, published by the FBI’s Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program, includes data from hate crime reports submitted by city, county, state, tribal, and federal law enforcement agencies throughout the Nation. Almost 52 percent of these crimes were motivated by a racial bias, 19 percent were triggered by a religious bias, 15.5 percent were motivated by a sexual-orientation bias, and 12.7 percent of the incidents were motivated by an ethnicity/national origin bias. One percent involved bias against a disability. Of the 7,330 known offenders reported in 2006, 58.6 percent were white, and 20.6 percent were black. The race was unknown for 12.9 percent, 5.7 percent were groups made up of individuals of various races and other races accounted for the remaining known offenders.

Garcia (not his real name) says he has gotten used to people driving by his house howling obscenities. He has also grown accustomed to neighborhood kids stealing his sign and planting it on other people's lawns as a joke. What really bugs him, he says, is his permanent inclusion in the Texas' online sex offender registry, where anyone in the world can download his name, mug shot, what he was convicted of, and home address. read more  Dealing with Sex
Offenders-How to Repair and Rebuild
Deborah Ingraham, an activist for restorative justice, is an advisor to Prevent Child Abuse of New Jersey. The following is testimony she delivered before the Criminal Justice Committee, MA State legislature, March 15, on a bill to establish an updated registry, lifetime parole, and possibility of lifetime civil commitment for sex offenders. The bill has been voted out favorably by the joint committee, but is likely to be challenged. This issue, variously framed, will undoubtedly be debated, nationwide, in coming months. I'm Debbie Ingraham, and I'm an activist for Restorative Justice. I'm also a former litigant who filed an unsuccessful civil suit against a family member for incest, and a former victim advocate. read more  |
