I was looking at the FBI statistics on hate crimes in 2008. And i found that there are different categories that are interesting. that range from racial bias, sexual-orientation, religion, ethnicity and disability. it is interesting on how they categorize the different crimes and the statistics. I wonder if we can look up which part of the country is the highest crime rate, and hate crimes.

Maybe this can help in showing the numbers of event happening with in the United States.

Interesting! This might be a great resource for developing our "rules" or questions for our Impact Project. I am curious though, since we know that a large number of these kinds of hate crimes often go unreported, are there any models that predict occurrences that are not reported? I don't mean to say that we need more evidence or something before we address hate crimes, in fact, one hate crime is enough for action in my book. I was just wondering just how many go unreported.
