Should More Anti-Asian Violence Be Sentenced As Hate Crimes?
Season 5
Episode 12
Since the pandemic began, violence against Asian-Americans has skyrocketed. Anti-Asian hate crimes grew nearly 150% in major U.S. cities and those numbers are probably underreported as many folks don’t report what happened to the police. We teamed up with PBS NewsHour Student Reporting Labs to explore why it's so hard to get racist violence charged as hate crimes.
