The Indiana Advisory Committee (Committee) to the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights (Commission) is examining how hate crimes are processed and treated in Indiana. This study includes an assessment of whether gaps or loopholes in state and federal data, policies, and laws impair the reporting and enforcement of hate crimes.
The Committee is hosting two briefings to take testimony from a broad range of subject-matter experts. The invited experts will offer national perspectives and data on this topic. If asked, some may offer Indiana-specific data and information. More details about this and future panel briefings will be shared on the information page here.
