IDENTIFYING AND DEALING WITH HATE CRIMES IN OUR COMMUNITIES
Students selected to participate in this internship will meet weekly for one hour at the Holocaust Center to explore legislation dealing with hate crimes and meet with representatives of city and state agencies who deal with victims of hate crimes in assisting them in seeking justice. Agencies such as: the New York City Police Department Hate Crimes Unit, the Queens District Attorney’s Office the LGBT Anti–Violence project, United Sikhs, and other such groups will participate in the project. Student interns will be trained as to the various legal steps taken by these agencies in determining if a hate crime has been committed and follow the prosecution of such a crime. Each intern will be required to visit two of the participating agencies for hand on experience. There is a stipend of $360 for successfully completing this project.
