Assault can be charged as a hate crime, but gang assault cannot. So, if one person beats up another person because of the victim’s race, that assault can be charged as a hate crime.

Through this ongoing collaboration, we hope to share resources, learn from each other, and continue to improve our practice. Thank you to all of the members of the Advisory Council for their time, commitment, and expertise, and particularly our co-chairs Maria Lizardo and Judy Kluger for their leadership.”
