We are one of the few services online who values our users' privacy, and have never sold your information. We have even fought hard to defend your privacy in legal cases; however, we've done it with almost no financial support -- paying out of pocket to continue providing the service. Due to the issues imposed on us by advertisers, we also stopped hosting most ads on the forums many years ago. We hope you appreciate our efforts.

Subject: Statistics !!! Author: Rick [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 13:24:13 03/24/02 Sun THE CURRENT STATISTICS Characteristics of Hate Crimes Hate crimes involve a higher level of assaults against persons than crimes generally. 45% to 55% of bias crimes are personal assaults, whereas only 10% of all crimes involve assault. Hate crimes are more violent than crimes generally. Assaults causing physical injury occur in 74% of bias crimes, versus 29% of non-bias crimes. Attacks are often preceded by a series of confrontations and incidents that escalate in severity. Hate crimes are more likely than other criminal activity to be committed by groups of perpetrators. Most crimes against persons are committed by someone the victim knows; hate crimes, however, are more likely to be committed by strangers.
