How Hate Crime Response and Prevention Training Works
Participants will be responsible for travel expenses to and
from the training site. The one-day training focuses on two
interrelated topics: (1) preventing and responding to
bias-motivated harassment in schools and (2) responding to
and investigating hate crimes in schools. The training will
be interactive, combining small group discussions, videos,
expert speakers, and group problem solving. The training will
include the following topics:
- The elements of hate crime laws.
- The relationship between the 1st Amendment and hate
crime laws.
- Identifying possible hate crimes.
- Investigating and responding to hate crimes.
- Understanding the impact of harassment on individual
targets and school climate.
- Effective intervention strategies for addressing
harassment.
- The role of school resource officers in developing and
implementing harassment and hate crime prevention
programs.
Participants will receive key information and skills for
intervening in incidents of bias-motivated behavior and
degrading slurs within schools. Additionally, the training
will provide school resource officers with an understanding
of key tasks involved in responding to and investigating hate
crimes.
