Current difficulties of key hate groups are chronicled. First, Ku Klux Klan (KKK) membership, after reaching a strength of 11,500 in 1981, currently totals 4,500-5,500. Recruitment has halted for the United Klans of America (UKA) following a $7-million damages award to the family of a black teenager murdered by a member of the group. Next, assassination, bombings and urban sabotage have resulted in prison sentences for many 'Christian Identity' activists. Finally, neo-Nazi sects have committed armed robberies and encouraged violence against persons who are members of named racial, religious or ethnic groups: many of their leaders have been incarcerated. Because of efforts by the U.S. Department of Justice and law enforcement agencies, and because the majority of Americans reject the message of bigotry, the hate movement is weaker today than in many years.
