OJP is committed to advancing work that promotes civil rights and racial equity, increases access to justice, supports crime victims and individuals impacted by the justice system, strengthens community safety and protects the public from crime and evolving threats, and builds trust between law enforcement and the community. The Community-based Approaches to Prevent and Address Hate Crimes Program supports community-based organizations (CBOs) and civil rights organizations to develop comprehensive approaches to addressing hate crimes. Approaches under this program should be designed to (1) prevent hate crimes; (2) promote community awareness, resiliency, preparedness, and healing; (3) increase victim reporting of hate incidents; and (4) improve responses to hate crimes.
