Hate Crime Reporting in Oregon Goes Viral

Oregon’s Attorney General John Kroger launched a new website dedicated to helping the public report suspected hate crimes in the region, the local television affiliate KEZI is reporting. 

People can file their report confidentially and in a matter of minutes, all online. The site is aimed at making it easier for citizens to report and law enforcement to track all reported hate crimes.    

"It's crucially important that people feel safe to report hate crimes," said Attorney General Kroger. "This new online reporting system will give us a better handle on the scope of the problem."

The AG’s announcement comes just days after members of Oregon’s LGBT community reported that gay-bashing incidents have gone unreported.
