Preventing and Reporting Hate Crimes
The following is a list of resources and websites which may be helpful in learning more about hate crimes:
Web pages at
http://police.ucsb.edu/htmls/hatecrime.html
cite the specific laws dictating hate crime designation, and actions you can take for hate crimes committed. It also provides a UCSB resource list.
No policies regarding hate crime are specifically listed at
http://www.sa.ucsb.edu/policies/Contact&Reporting.htm
, but the contact numbers are given. There is a page under construction in the sidebar titled "Other Policies"--which upon completion may provide hate incident policy.
Source of the quotation below:

"Let me once again articulate what can be the only attitude of this administration about acts of violence and hatred on this campus. There is no place
—
absolutely no place—on the campus for physical violence, personal intimidation, or demonstrations of hatred, as there should be no place in our society. No one should have to walk in fear for any reason, and certainly not because he or she belongs to a certain group, a particular race, ethnicity, gender, or has a certain sexual orientation."
—Michael D. Young, Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs
This is the address to download a pdf file regarding the state's 16 recommendations to improve the reporting of hate crimes in local communities, in schools and by law enforcement agencies. It is 46 pages long, but seems to be a good source of California hate crime information:
See
http://caag.state.ca.us/publications/civilrights/reportingHC.pdf
The file is termed "Reporting Hate Crimes (2001)"
This is a website set up by Chicago Lawyers' Committee For Civil Rights Under Law, Inc. It is applicable to Illinois law, but the information provided is very precise. Select the "Publications" link in the sidebar, and select the "Brochure on Hate Crimes" in the section "Project to Combat Bias Violence."
