* Religious Motivated Hate Crime: Reporting to Law Enforcement and Case Outcomes
(2017) Relative to non-bias motivated crimes, hate crimes have much graver consequences for victims and their community. Despite the large increase in religious hate crimes over the past decade relative to all other hate crime, little is known about these types of crimes and the factors associated with both reporting to law enforcement and case outcomes. Utilizing the National Crime Victimization Survey and National Incident-Based Reporting System datasets, this study examines the relationship between victim, offender, and incident characteristics on reporting to law enforcement and case outcomes. Most religious hate crimes are not reported (41.3 %) in part due to perceptions of law enforcement's perceived response. Of the violent incidents that are reported, the vast majority do not result in the arrest of an offender (22.2 %). Whereas only a small number of variables related to the seriousness of the offense are associated with both reporting and arrest, these exhibited large effect sizes.
Hate Crimes Against Transgenders, Especially of Color, Increasing
(2011) Over the last decade, more than one person per month has died due to transgender-based hate or prejudice. This trend shows no sign of abating. Yavante' M. Thomas-Guess is the Co-Chair of the San Francisco Transgender Empowerment, Advocacy & Mentorship (SF TEAM). He says that from 2000 to 2010 they have documented 616 transtblks deaths. "This incident is an example of another transwoman beaten, just for existing", says Guess, "I can only imagine what would have happened to her if there hadn't been a threat of approaching police". His program is responsible for organizing San Francisco's Transgender Day of Remembrance, which honors the dead on November 20th, each year.
Asian Americans Suffer Under `Reign Of Terror' In San Francisco Projects
(1994) HUD had found a number of San Francisco's public housing sites to be "racially identifiable." HUD defined "racially identifiable" projects as "any site where the proportion of minority to nonminority occupants differs from the proportion of the public housing authority's occupancy totals for both groups by more than 20 percentage points" or "any site which is 90 percent or more of one race or ethnic group." Patricia Robinett lived with her child at the Potrero Terrace public housing project. Robinett, part Japanese and part Caucasian, said, "I was called 'Jap,' 'Chink,' 'Slant eye,' without any provocation...Almost daily [I heard] shouts such as, 'Asians get off our hill."' Robinett claimed that the management at her project "is completely insensitive and unresponsive to Asian residents. I have been present in the manager's office while staff ridiculed a limited English speaking tenant because of the tenant's accent. At one meeting at the main office on Turk Street attended by management staff, I stood up to register a complaint about conditions and was told by a member of the residents' association to shut up because I was 'not black.' At other meetings I have seen complaints by Asian tenants involving serious incidents of crime completely ignored by management."
