>>Request for Reports of Disability-Motivated Hate Crimes
>>
>>___________________________________________________________________________
>___
>>
>> As part of the larger goal of preventing violence against people with
>>disabilities, Congress has proposed legislation to prevent hate crimes
>>committed against people with disabilities. President Clinton has
endorsed
>>the legislation. But before the legislation can move forward, Congress
>>needs to build a record which illustrates the type of discrimination it
is
>>trying to address, and the types of crimes it wants to prevent.
>>
>> To assist Congress in building this record, we need you to provide
>>examples of disability-motivated violence. If you have anecdotal
stories,
>>police crime statistics, know of any studies done, etc., which help
>>illustrate the types of violence and crimes committed against people
with
>>disabilities, please send these to us via e-amil or regualr post mail.
These
>>crimes may have occured in institutions, group home settings, or at
work.
>>Even if you are not sure whether the violence would be a "hate crime,"
send
>>the story to us. Hate crimes against people with disabilities may take
>>different forms than bias crimes on the basis of race, sexual
orientation,
>>or gender.
>>
>> Additionally, if you have any stories, witness, experts, etc., who can
>>support the proposition that people with disabilities are less likely
to
>>have crimes against them investigated by police, prosecuted as
zealously by
>>state or local district attorneys, or evidence that people with
>>disabilities are less likely to report crimes against them because they
>>fear their claims will not be taken seriously, this information will be
>>especially valuable in our fight to get disability-motivated hate
crimes
>>legislation passed.
>>
>>NAPAS has agreed to serve as the repository for this effort. Plese
send
>>all stories to Glen Sutcliffe at NAPAS. E-mail: govrels(AT)primanet.com
>>
>> Thank you for your help!
