Dr. Golob and Faraz Mohammadi join us to discuss the current state of hate crime prosecution. We address the rise in hate crime directed at Asian-American and Pacific Islanders due to COVID-19 and the rise in public consciousness of anti-Black racism. We discuss bias motivation, current legislation, the tracking of hate crimes and more.
