The Brief: Enhancing the Response to Hate Crimes

In response to hate crimes and hate incidents, the International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP) and the Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights Under Law (Lawyers’ Committee) partnered to release the Action Agenda for Enhancing the Response to Hate Crimes. The action agenda was developed through comprehensive discussions between leaders in law enforcement, civil rights, and academia. The subject matter experts met on three separate occasions to examine promising practices for responses to hate crimes, as well as how these practices shape community-police relations.
