Hate Crimes in 2001 Foreword In response to Congress’ passage of the Hate Crime Statistics Act of 1990 and subsequent acts that amended the directive, the FBI Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program collects and publishes data on crimes motivated by racial, religious, ethnicity/national-origin, sexual-orientation, and disability bias. In 2001, 9,730 bias-motivated incidents were voluntarily reported by law enforcement agencies nationwide. From the fi rst year that national hate crime data were published in 1992 until 2000, incidents motivated by racial bias comprised the largest portion of reported hate crime incidents followed by incidents motivated by a religious bias and those motivated by bias against sexual orientation. The fewest number of hate crime incidents resulted from ethnicity or national-origin bias, until the addition of the disability bias in 1997, which then became the lowest portion of reported hate crime incidents. That distribution changed in 2001, presumably as a result of the heinous incidents that occurred on September 11. For many offenders, the preformed negative opinion, or bias, was directed toward ethnicity/ national origin. Consistent with past data, by bias type, law enforcement reported that most incidents in 2001 were motivated by bias against race. However, crime incidents motivated by bias against ethnicity/national origin were the second most frequently reported bias in 2001, more than doubling the number of incidents, offenses, victims, and known offenders from 2000 data. Additionally, the anti-other ethnicity/national origin category quadrupled in incidents, offenses, victims, and known offenders. Another noticeable increase in 2001 was among religious-bias incidents. Anti-Islamic religion incidents were previously the second least reported, but in 2001, they became the second highest reported among religious-bias incidents (anti-Jewish religion incidents were the highest), growing by more than 1,600 percent over the 2000 volume. In 2001, reported data showed there were 481 incidents made up of 546 offenses having 554 victims of crimes motivated by bias toward the Islamic religion. Hate crimes touch not only the individual victim, but they also affect the entire group associated with the particular bias motivation. Unfair and inaccurate stereotyping can make victims of all who share the same race, religion, ethnicity or national origin, sexual orientation, or disability. Law enforcement’s commitment to hate crime awareness and collecting and reporting data surrounding bias-motivated offenses underscores the notion that valid information is essential in developing tools with which to combat these pernicious crimes. The national Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program would like to hear from you. The staff at the national UCR Program are continuously striving to improve our publications.

Under the commission are not separate, distinct crimes; instead, they are of the Attorney General and with the aid of several traditional offenses motivated by the offender’s bias. local and state law enforcement agencies already An offender, for example, may damage or vandalize investigating and collecting information about property because of his/her bias against the owner’s hate crimes, the FBI’s Uniform Crime Reporting (victim’s) race, religion, sexual orientation, ethnicity/ (UCR) Program developed a data collection system national origin, or disability. Therefore, rather than to comply with the Congressional mandate. Hate create new crime categories, Program developers felt Crime Statistics, 1990: A Resource Book was that collecting additional information about crimes the fi rst publication that made available the hate already being reported to the UCR Program would crime data reported by 11 individual states that had fulfi ll the directives addressed in the Hate Crime collected hate crime data under state authority during Statistics Act as amended. 1990 and that were willing to participate. After Because motivation is subjective, it is the national UCR Program implemented a uniform diffi cult to know with certainty whether a crime was method of data collection, the 1992 edition of Hate the result of the offender’s bias. Law enforcement Crime Statistics premiered the data reported by investigation is critical to the determination process participating law enforcement agencies across the because it must reveal suffi cient evidence as to Nation. whether the offender’s actions were motivated, in The Hate Crime Statistics Act was amended whole or in part, by bias. For this reason, the success with the enactment of the Violent Crime and Law of the Program rests with the law enforcement Enforcement Act of 1994 to include bias against offi cers who determine that a bias motivation does persons with disabilities. The FBI began collecting indeed exist. data for this additional bias motivation on January 1, The International Association of Chiefs of 1997. Another amendment followed in July 1996 Police, the National Sheriffs’ Association, the former when the Church Arson Prevention Act was signed UCR Data Providers’ Advisory Policy Board (now into law, removing the sunset clause (a clause part of the Criminal Justice Information Services requiring a review of the rationale for continuing Advisory Policy Board), the International Association the act) from the original statute and permanently of Directors of Law Enforcement Standards and extending the data collection mandate. As a result, Training, and the Association of State Uniform Crime the FBI has made hate crime data collection a Reporting Programs have endorsed the Hate Crime permanent part of the UCR Program and continues Data Collection Program.

  • HATE CRIME STATISTICS, 2002 Iii Contents
    Foreword The American Psychological Association says of hate crime “ . not only is it an attack on one’s physical self, but it is also an attack on one’s very identity.” Attacks upon individuals because of a difference in how they look, pray, or behave have long been a part of human history. It is only recently, however, that our society has given it a name and decided to monitor it, study it, and legislate against it. As a result, law enforcement has been given the task of identifying and responding to bias-motivated crime. In order to discharge this duty, the criminal justice community must have adequate information about the nature and prevalence of hate crime. The Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program has been a primary source of crime statistics for the use of law enforcement since the Program’s establishment in 1929. When the Hate Crimes Statistics Act of 1990 was passed, the UCR Program was the logical choice to become a clearinghouse for the collection and sharing of data regarding these distinct crimes. Since 1991, the Program has compiled and published statistics on offenses determined by law enforcement to have been driven by bias against race, religion, ethnicity, sexual orientation, and since 1994, disability. This edition of Hate Crime Statistics is the latest presentation in this series aimed at better equipping law enforcement to handle the complex and difficult challenge of dealing with hate crime. The national Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program would like to hear from you. The staff at the national UCR Program are continuously striving to improve our publications.

The first church formed in the county was the Baptist Church of New Bedford, organized February 20, 1796, by settlers in what is now the Town of Tioga. It had but nine members. As early as November 10, 1819, there was an agricultural society in the county. Tioga County, according to the official postal guide for July, 1930, has the following post offices: Apalachin, Barton, Berkshire, Candor, Catatonk, Halsey Valley, Lockwood, Lounsberry, New ark Valley, Nichols, North Spencer, Owego, Richford, Smithboro, South Apalachin, Spencer, Straits Corners, Tioga Center, Waits, Waverly, Willseyville. OWEGO. Owego, known as the southern gateway to the lake country, is a village of 4,739 inhabitants finely situated on the Susque hanna, near the mouth of Owego Creek. In 1922 the state com pleted the final link of the New York-Finger Lakes-Buffalo cross state motor route, thus placing Owego on a route fifty miles shorter than the old New York-Albany-Buffalo highway. At Owego the traveler leaves the Liberty highway and follows the new road to Ithaca. From time immemorial the Susquehanna River at Owego and the Finger Lakes at Ithaca have been connected first by an Indian trail, next by a pioneer roadway cut in 1789, and then the turnpike built from 1808 to 1811. During the War of 1812 this highway was of great value as a means of bringing supplies to the Atlantic seaboard, the Susquehanna River at that time being an important artery of commerce.

An Abstract of Chronology and Sedimentology of the Imlay Channel, Lapeer County, Michigan by Jonathan Neil Luczak Submitted to the Graduate Faculty as partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Master of Science Degree in Geology The University of Toledo December 2018 The Imlay channel on the thumb of Michigan was one of two outlets for the Maumee stages (i.e. I–III or IV) of ancestral Lake Erie (ALE). The history and chronology of sediment within the channel is poorly understood, having been studied only sporadically over the last 100 years. Previous studies interpreted the floor of the channel to be the aerially exposed topographic divide near the intersection of Clear Lake and Van Dyke roads. However, geotechnical borings and water-well records along Clear Lake Road suggest that the bedrock sill that controlled drainage through the channel may be buried by more than 12 m of sediment that post-dates channel formation. A single radiocarbon age, i.e. ~16.7 calibrated ka BP, from ~6 km north of the Imlay channel was interpreted in most of the literature to mark the cessation of channel activity; an age from organic material found within colluvium replicates this age in this study.
