FBI presentation on Hate Crimes
Description: Hate crimes are the highest priority of the FBI’s civil rights program because of the devastating impact they have on families and communities. The FBI investigates hundreds of these cases every year, and we work to detect and prevent incidents through law enforcement training, public outreach, and partnerships with community groups.
Presented by: Special Agents Joseph M. Holzman and Amillita Marayag
