Understanding and Preventing Youth Hate Crimes and Identity-Based Bullying Virtual Symposium (Day 2)
Held on October 17 and 18, 2023, "Understanding and Preventing Youth Hate Crimes and Identity-Based Bullying" was a virtual symposium on preventing and combating identity-based bullying and extremist hate groups as they impact our nation's youth.
This virtual symposium discussed current trends and research on identity-based bullying, cyberbullying, youth-related hate crimes, and how hate groups use social media and technology to reach, recruit, and radicalize youth. Panel discussions provided programs, best practices, and evidence-based strategies on how schools, families, law enforcement, and communities can work together to build protective factors in youth and help youth resist and disengage from extremist hate groups.
Remarks delivered by OJJDP Administrator Liz Ryan have been slightly edited and re-recorded for clarity.
