Hate crimes legislation vital to women's lives

Article Abstract:

The 1999 Hate Crimes Prevention Act needs to be enacted by Congress to address the growing incidence of hate crime against women. Enactment of the act would mean an expansion in the power of the federal government to investigate a hate crime by removing the existing requirement which mandates that the victim be exercising a federally protected right. It would allow the federal government to investigate and prosecute not only bias-motivated crimes based on religion, race and ethnicity, but also those motivated by sex.
