Time and again the news if filled with stories of crimes committed out of hate, all because human beings act on their personal opinions as to what other people should be. Below is a short explanation of what can we do to stop hate crimes.
Take action by simply writing down what you think causes this problem. Working from there include the people you know who share your beliefs and include friends, family and anyone at work. If possible, have them come to your house for coffee or refreshments and discuss the situation with everyone. Create a place on social networking that includes a calendar and assign people to certain tasks.
Do your homework. Most court cases have records on file at the local courthouse but do not rely on these as sometimes you find the records sealed. Your best source of information is the other people involved, such as friends and relatives of the victim and the victim themselves. It is important to know what led up to the hate crime.
Take other members with you, so they present a united front when speaking with people of authority. Remind them that your group is more than just watching the neighborhood. It intends to provide real help in addressing these horrid crimes and show them your calendar to prove the determination of your group.
The best way to prevent future occurrences of crime is to offer a means of keeping people occupied with something more constructive and challenging. Create some alternative activities where people of all ages gather and have fun. Speak with people of other neighborhoods about forming teams for everything from crocheting and art competition to soccer. Remember your age groups and plan for the long range follow up. People who have something to enjoy look forward to it, and seldom have time or inclination to commit crimes.
Never be afraid to speak up and be heard. Your determination is required to make sure the public knows you and your group are there to stay. Teach tolerance and understanding but be firm in your convictions. Hate crimes do not go away without a concerted effort. Begin by educating the children who are still young enough to embrace the common sense approach to life and its lessons.
By all means, set up a strong victim support network. These people need emotional support, legal support, and most often medical support. Lobby your leaders to take stronger action against these crimes and continue to dig deeper and more thoroughly than ever to find the answers everyone needs. Victims need support, not ridicule. Personally interview the department heads at your local facilities who work with victims of all types of abuse.
There are few things in life more heartbreaking than a loved one who is the victim of a bully, and even more so when the bullying results in death. Get started today working out your plan and start calling people who have the same hopes for tomorrow as you do.
