Hate crimes in the United States are on the rise, yet our nation’s ability to address this increase is hindered by a lack of information about these crimes. In 2018, more than 80 cities with a population over 100,000 failed to report hate crimes to the FBI. Why are Jews, despite making up less than two-percent of the U.S population, the target of nearly sixty-percent of all religious based crimes? What steps must the federal government take to encourage accurate hate crimes data collection and reporting?
