Hate groups need to identify someone as the culprit responsible for their misfortunes. Police personnel should recognize that they represent a sanctuary for potential victims and should make it clear that hate crimes will not be tolerated. Chicago has experienced a decrease in bias-related crime in the past 2 years, perhaps because of more effective law enforcement efforts. Its assessment centers try to track neighborhoods that are changing to determine whether a potential exists for any crime. They also communicate to individual families and the community that the department is committed to protecting the civil rights of all citizens. In addition, a cable network provides broadcasts from the police academy. The department's philosophy is that bias-related crime has no place in the United States and that law enforcement personnel must respond firmly and effectively to any incidents.
