As compared with analogous crimes, bias crime is associated with more negative outcomes for victims and communities. NIJ is particularly interested in funding research to:  Develop and test screening and/or assessment tools to identify bias crime victims.Conduct localized victimization surveys using new and innovative sampling strategies to understand hate crime among immigrant and other understudied communities.Explore the use of non-traditional data sources to track bias crime victimization.
