AR 17 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Urges Federal Bureau of Investigation to include in Uniform Crime Report September 11, 2001 terror attack victims in hate crime statistics.

This New Jersey Assembly Resolution (AR 17) urges the FBI to include victims of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks in the FBI’s Uniform Crime Report hate crime statistics. It argues that the attacks - motivated by hatred against a specific group - should be counted as hate-motivated murders, as the FBI currently excludes them from standard hate crime data despite reporting them in a special report. The resolution does not create new law but requests the FBI adjust its reporting methodology to align with the meaning of "hate-motivated murder" under the Hate Crime Statistics Act of 1990. The resolution directly addresses the FBI’s data collection practices, not any affected individuals or organizations.
