2000 Hate Crime Statistics FOREWORD terilized from emotion, hate crime, also called bias crime, is those offenses motivated in part or singularly by personal prejudice against others because of a diversity—race, sexual orientation, Sreligion, ethnicity/national origin, or disability. The FBI Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program’s responsibility regarding hate crime is to provide a reliable set of statistics through the Hate Crime Data Collection Program. Through this program, law enforcement agencies nationwide voluntar- ily submit data about hate crimes within their jurisdictions (i.e., the number of incidents, offenses, victims, and offenders) for publication in the annual report, Hate Crime Statistics. Though law enforce- ment agencies need only report data for one month of a year to be included in this publication, most agencies that participate in the Program submit four quarters of data. In 2000, a total of 91.9 percent of all contributing agencies submitted four quarters of data. All data reported by law enforcement agencies are presented in this publication, free of the nuances that many factions of society impose upon the subject. The uses for hate crime data vary widely among the different sectors of society. The statistics may assist law enforcement agencies in addressing potentially problematic issues for their particular locales or provide lawmakers with justification for certain legislation. The data may supply the media with credible information or simply show hate crime victims that they are not alone. Analyses of these data can also aid researchers in determining trends in hate crimes. Whatever the use of the statistics may be, the goal of this publication is to enable these data users to create an awareness about hate crime and advance the study of this complex facet of 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. We would appreciate it if the primary user of this publication would complete the evaluation form at the end of this book and either mail it to us at the indicated address or fax it to 304-625-5394.

Nieuwe reeks. Jaargang 1988 (nrs. 41-44) 7 Bij Raster 41 Dit nummer van Raster, het eerste van een nieuwe jaargang, is gewijd aan ‘denkbeeldige reizen’: aan verplaatsingen, over langere afstand, in de geest. De verslagen, of misschien beter vertellingen, van dergelijke imaginaire reizen kan men ruwweg in tweeën verdelen: die van de pseudo-realistische en die van de fantastische reis. Een saillant voorbeeld van de eerste categorie is Kafka's Amerika, een roman over een land waar de schrijver nooit een voet heeft gezet; een voorbeeld van de tweede Gulliver's Travels van Swift. De aantrekkelijkheid van de reis als literaire vorm ligt voor de hand: ze brengt een veelheid van anekdotes en beschrijvingen in een schijnbaar logisch verband. Satirici en utopisten biedt ze de mogelijkheid op ongedwongen wijze zoveel mogelijk raakpunten en tegenstellingen te laten zien tussen een imaginaire wereld en de bestaande. De bloei van de imaginaire reis aan het eind van de zeventiende en het begin van de achttiende eeuw en aan het eind van de vorige en het begin van deze eeuw valt samen met een hausse in de reële ontdekkingsreizen. Het lijkt alsof de exploraties in de Poolgebieden en de binnenlanden van Afrika en Azië worden begeleid door schaduwexpedities vanachter de schrijftafel; een soort van kritisch contrapunt.

  • Nominating Historic Vessels and Shipwrecks to the National Register of Historic Places James P
    ..-----m]1 1-------- Technical information on comprehensive planning, survey of cultural resources, and registration in ·NATIONALthe National Register of REGISTER·Historic Places. BULLETIN U.S. Department of the Interior National Park Service Interagency Resources Division Nominating Historic Vessels and Shipwrecks to the National Register of Historic Places James P. Delgado and A National Park Service Maritime Task Force* INTRODUCTION For over two hundred years, the United States relied on ships as connective links of a nation. Vessels crossing the Atlantic, Caribbean, and Pacific Oceans, and our inland waters made fundamen­ tal contributions to colonial settle­ ment, development of trade, exploration, national defense, and territorial expansion. Unfortunately, we have lost much of this maritime tradition, and most historic vessels have gone to watery graves or have been scrapped by shipbreakers. Many vessels, once renowned or common, now can only be ap­ preciated in print, on film, on can­ vas, or in museums. To recognize those cultural resources important in America's past and to encourage their preser­ vation, Congress expanded the National Register of Historic Places in 1966. Among the ranks of prop­ erties listed in the National Register are vessels, as well as buildings and structures, such as canals, drydocks, shipyards, and lighthouses that survive to docu­ ment the Nation's maritime heritage. Yet to date, the National Register has not been fully utilized for listing maritime resources, par­ ticularly historic vessels. Star of India, The National Register of Historic Places is an important tool FIGURE 1: built in 1863, is now berthed at the San Diego Maritime Museum. for maritime preservation.

  • 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.
