The Department of Justice will release millions of dollars in funding for developing hate crime hotlines nationwide as the country grapples with its highest levels of such incidents in more than a decade.

The DOJ will oversee the creation of hotlines dedicated to receiving reports of hate crimes to help local police departments throughout the country prevent racially motivated violence in their communities. The initiative will also incentivize states to submit hate crime data to the FBI for its annual report, which is not currently required for local law enforcement agencies.

“Each of these steps share the common goal of deterring hate crimes and hate incidents and addressing them when they occur, supporting those victimized by them, and reducing the pernicious effects that they have on our society,” Garland told reporters Friday. “These are not easy tasks. We know the threats we face are evolving and the strategies to confront them must evolve as well.

Officials are investigating a recent string of shootings nationwide as hate crimes and violent extremism, although the DOJ had already been working on establishing these initiatives before those attacks.

U.S. Justice Department releases $5 million for hotlines to report hate crimesThe U.S. Justice Department will release $5 million for states to establish hotlines to report hate crime, U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland said on Friday, as a mass shooting in Buffalo heightened concerns about racially motivated violence in the United States. The money is one of several steps Garland outlined to improve reporting and prosecution of hate crimes, which reached their highest level in more than a decade in 2020, the most recent year for which figures are available. Those figures are not comprehensive as state and local authorities are not required to report them to the FBI, which defines a hate crime as a traditional offense like murder, arson, or vandalism with an added element of bias.
