Overview of This Information
Collection
(1) Type of Information Collection:
New Collection.
(2) Title of the Form/Collection:
Understanding Trends in Hate Crimes
Against Immigrants and Hispanic
Americans.
(3) Agency form number, if any, and
the applicable component of the
Department of Justice sponsoring the
collection: Form Number: N/A. National
Institute of Justice, Office of Justice
Programs.
(4) Affected public who will be asked
or required to respond, as well as a brief
abstract: Primary: Law enforcement
chiefs and sheriffs. Secondary: Patrol
officers, directors of advocacy
organizations for immigrants, and
clients of immigration advocacy
organizations. While there has been
great progress in understanding and
measuring hate crime, many
fundamental questions remain
unanswered. To address these
questions, we are employing a multimethod analysis of hate crime in the
United States with a special focus on
trends in crimes against Hispanic
Americans and others perceived to be
immigrants. The first phase of the
project, already complete, involved
gathering and analyzing relevant
secondary data sets. Phase two of the
project will involve a survey of a sample
of 500 police departments, focus groups
with law enforcement personnel and
NGOs addressing hate crime in five
selected sites, and interviews with
expert law enforcement practitioners,
trainers and researchers.
(5) An estimate of the total number of
respondents and the amount of time
estimated for an average respondent to
respond: We hope to gather 500
responses to the law enforcement
survey. Agencies selected for the survey
will be based on a disproportionate
stratified random sample design with
oversampling of agencies serving
populations over 50,000. Further, we
estimate that we will conduct about 20
focus groups, each time with about eight
individuals, and at least 60 individual
interviews. The table below shows the
estimated number of respondents for
each portion of data collection.

(4) Affected public who will be asked
or required to respond, as well as a brief
abstract: Primary: State and Local law
enforcement agencies with Automated
Fingerprint Identification Systems
(AFIS). The proposed collection is the
only effort that provides an ability to
establish the level of interoperability of
automated fingerprint identification
systems maintained by State and Local
law enforcement agencies regarding the
electronic exchange of latent
fingerprints to support criminal
investigations. This collection will
enables NIJ; Federal, State, Local, and
Tribal law enforcement and government
administrators; legislators; and
researchers; to understand the
technology and policy barriers to local,
regional, and national interoperability
from the perspective of State and Local
criminal investigations requiring the
exchange of latent fingerprints across
jurisdictional boundaries. Information
collected in the core survey and survey
addenda will provide critical data on
the types and functionalities of fielded
AFIS systems in State and Local
agencies; the current policy agreements
among jurisdictions to permit the
sharing, exchange, and searching of
latent fingerprints electronically; and
the technology-related and policyrelated impediments regarding the

electronic sharing, exchange, and
searching of latent fingerprints across

(5) An estimate of the total number of
respondents and the amount of time
estimated for an average respondent to
respond: It is estimated that 350 to 400
respondents will complete the core
survey and one of two relevant addenda

from a State or Local agency in
approximately 60 minutes.
(6) An estimate of the total public
burden (in hours) associated with the
collection: There are an estimated
21,000 to 24,000 total burden hours
associated with this collection.
