What Can We Do To Stop Hate Crimes Today

By Ericka Marsh


Time and again the news if filled with stories of crimes committed out of hate, all because human beings act on their personal opinions as to what other people should be. Below is a short explanation of what can we do to stop hate crimes.

Take action by simply writing down what you think causes this problem. Working from there include the people you know who share your beliefs and include friends, family and anyone at work. If possible, have them come to your house for coffee or refreshments and discuss the situation with everyone. Create a place on social networking that includes a calendar and assign people to certain tasks.

Do some homework before you get out in the field. If addressing a recent crime of hate, find out all the facts and check the public records for additional information. Sometimes courts seal criminal records. Do not let this stop you. Try to find common facts that help in planning your future events.

Take other members with you, so they present a united front when speaking with people of authority. Remind them that your group is more than just watching the neighborhood. It intends to provide real help in addressing these horrid crimes and show them your calendar to prove the determination of your group.

The best way to prevent future occurrences of crime is to offer a means of keeping people occupied with something more constructive and challenging. Create some alternative activities where people of all ages gather and have fun. Speak with people of other neighborhoods about forming teams for everything from crocheting and art competition to soccer. Remember your age groups and plan for the long range follow up. People who have something to enjoy look forward to it, and seldom have time or inclination to commit crimes.

Never be afraid to speak up and be heard. Your determination is required to make sure the public knows you and your group are there to stay. Teach tolerance and understanding but be firm in your convictions. Hate crimes do not go away without a concerted effort. Begin by educating the children who are still young enough to embrace the common sense approach to life and its lessons.

There must be a support network for the victims of these crimes. Contact all local medical and psychological facilities for additional information on assistance for hate crimes, and ask for information from your local Bar Association. Lobby leaders from local to state and federal for tougher laws and dig deeper than ever into the causes of such behavior.

Crimes of hate happen. The causes result from misinformation about what kind of life all people should live, and that fails when belief systems vary widely across the globe. Understanding how to prevent them is the best place to start. Then present a united front of citizens from every neighborhood and ethnic background to prove you will not continue to stand for this kind of crime in your town.
