The International Center for the Study of Violent Extremism (ICSVE) will deliver training and resources to address hate crimes through a $400,000 project grant from the Department of Justice Office of Justice Programs Bureau of Justice Assistance. The grant was awarded on October 1, 2022 under the Community-Based Approaches to Advancing Justice program (CFDA 16.047).
Over a three-year period concluding September 30, 2025, ICSVE will train law enforcement, community stakeholders, and victim services professionals to improve identification and response to hate crimes and individuals at risk of radicalization. Training activities will include developing an early intervention system guide, multimedia resources featuring former hate group members, and data-driven reports on lessons learned. ICSVE will assess the efficacy of these trainings through quantitative and qualitative data collection from participants and community members. The project aims to build trust between police and communities to more effectively address hate crimes through trauma-informed victim services, suspect interviews, and a coordinated response network.
