Title: Hate Crime Legislation
Authors: William Krouse, Domestic Social Policy Division; Cheryl Beaver, Knowledge Services Group 
Abstract: At issue for Congress is whether the prevalence and harmfulness of hate crime warrants greater federal intervention to ensure that such crimes are systematically addressed at all levels of government. Another related issue Congress may choose to consider is the completeness and comprehensiveness of national hate crime data.
