It's been one year since California launched a hate-crime hotline. Here's what's happened so far
==========
In the year since California launched a hotline for reporting hate crimes, most of the calls were related to race or ethnicity, with 26.8% of calls citing anti-Black bias. The second- and third-most cited incidents involved anti-Latino and anti-Asian bias. The hotline was created to address the increase in hate crimes across California during the COVID-19 pandemic. The state has received 1,020 reports of hate crimes in the past year, including discrimination and harassment claims. The most cited reasons for calls were race and ethnicity bias, accounting for more than one-third of the total calls received. The second most reported category was related to gender identity, accounting for 15.1% of calls. Calls related to anti-Jewish violence accounted for 36.9% of religious targeting calls. The hotline also offers services such as mental health support, assistance with filing civil rights complaints, and legal services. The one-year mark comes as the state Legislature deliberates a reparations package linked to combating hate crimes.
