 | This guide is designed to help law enforcement representatives facilitate discussions and training sessions in conjunction with screenings of the 24-minute Not In Our Town film A Prosecutor's Stand. Produced in collaboration with the COPS Office, the film examines recent hate crimes in San Francisco, California, and explores the nature of these crimes, trauma faced by victims, and common challenges in investigating and prosecuting these cases. Interviews with prosecutors, the district attorney, victims, victim liaisons, and others demonstrate the important interplay between hate crime victims, law enforcement, and the greater community. The guide provides discussion questions for use in internal agency trainings and community screenings, as well as a hate crimes fact sheet and a list of supplemental resources. Used together, the film and guide can help agencies work to prevent hate crimes, improve hate crime reporting, enhance investigations and prosecutions, and support victims.By Paul Sheridan, Michele Dahee Kloss, Libby McInernyCategories: Community PartnershipsLanguage: EnglishPublic link
