process is conducted in accordance with
5 CFR 1320.10.
Written comments and/or suggestions

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: ?. 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, with about eight
individuals each, and at least 60
individual interviews. The table below
shows the estimated number of
respondents for each portion of data
collection.
