Hate Crimes Surged Last Year

“Hate crimes in America rose 17% last year, the third consecutive year that such crimes increased, according to newly released FBI data that showed an even larger increase in anti-Semitic attacks,” the Washington Post reports.

“The sharp increase in hate crimes in 2017 came even as overall violent crime in America fell slightly, by 0.2%, after increases in 2015 and 2016.”
