What:
The Los Angeles County Human Relations Commission will release its 2024 Report on Hate Crime in Los Angeles County. The report provides an analysis of hate crime data for 2024 based on race, sexual orientation, religion, gender, and disability. The information is collected from more than 100 law enforcement agencies, school districts, colleges and universities, and community-based organizations throughout LA County. Hate crimes documented in the year 2024 remained high with record-high crimes targeting African Americans, Israelis, Jewish people, Latino/as, LGBTQ+ individuals, Middle Easterners, Muslims, Scientologists, and women. Additionally, the report notes significant increases in crimes motivated by race and sexual orientation, incidents occurring in schools, and cases connected to conflicts in the Middle East.
The report also documents which regions of the County experienced the highest numbers and rates of hate crimes. In addition to the data, speakers will discuss what is being done to end hate crimes and incidents in our county, including the LA vs. Hate initiative. More information on LA vs Hate can be found at LAvsHate.org.
