Hate/bias crime reporting

HoCoJAG sent a letter to the Baltimore Banner in response to an article that mistakenly indicated that Black men and women are most likely to be victims of hate/bias crimes. Although it’s a bad competition to win, Jews are actually most likely of any group to be victims of hate/bias crimes, both statewide in Maryland and locally in Howard County. The letter provides the detailed statistics and supporting resources to demonstrate this. We ask the Banner to help increase awareness of the severity and extent of antisemitism.
