Mr. Lynch believes that hate crimes are superfluous because the crimes are already illegal, do not prevent crime, and that hate crimes lead to a protected class of citizens. Ms. Stachelberg argued that hate crimes laws are a deterrent, and cited data that show hate crimes have decreased since the laws were enacted. She also said they are helpful at the local level because when a crime is classified as a hate crime, local law enforcement officials can apply for Justice Department assistance in investigating and prosecution.
