> As part of the larger goal of preventing violence against people
>with disabilities, Congress has proposed legislation to prevent hate
>crimes committed against people with disabilities. President Clinton
has
>endorsed the legislation. But before the legislation can move forward,
>Congress needs to build a record which illustrates the type of
>discrimination it is trying to address, and the types of crimes it wants
>to prevent.
>
> To assist Congress in building this record, we need you to
provide
>examples of disability-motivated violence. If you have anecdotal
stories,
>police crime statistics, know of any studies done, etc., which help
>illustrate the types of violence and crimes committed against people
with
>disabilities, please send these to us via e-amil or regualr post mail.
>These crimes may have occured in institutions, group home settings, or
at
>work. Even if you are not sure whether the violence would be a "hate
>crime," send the story to us. Hate crimes against people with
>disabilities may take different forms than bias crimes on the basis of
>race, sexual orientation, or gender.
>
> Additionally, if you have any stories, witness, experts, etc.,
who
>can support the proposition that people with disabilities are less
likely
>to have crimes against them investigated by police, prosecuted as
>zealously by state or local district attorneys, or evidence that people
>with disabilities are less likely to report crimes against them because
>they fear their claims will not be taken seriously, this information
will
>be especially valuable in our fight to get disability-motivated hate
>crimes legislation passed.
>
>NAPAS has agreed to serve as the repository for this effort.
>Please send all stories to Glen Sutcliffe at NAPAS.
