SR 58 New Jersey Senate · 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.

SR 58 is a New Jersey Senate resolution urging the FBI to include victims of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks in the Uniform Crime Report's hate crime statistics. It argues that the 9/11 attacks - resulting in nearly 3,000 deaths - should be counted as hate-motivated murders, as the FBI previously excluded them from this category despite reporting only 10 hate-motivated murders nationally in 2001. The resolution does not change federal law but requests the FBI adjust its reporting to align with the definition of hate crime. This is a non-binding request, not a legislative mandate, focused solely on how the FBI categorizes data in its annual crime report.
