so, adam, heather and i were having a bit of a discussion about hate crimes against homosexuals, and whether or not the current political climate is contributing to the situation. i decided to look for stats, to see what the "hard" data might show
one resource i found had one good link, and several dead ones.
2004
oooh oooh, a wiki, and what a title.
a site that says it's decreasing. and, they've even got a downloadable pdf, which is the fbi stats from 2000.
an interesting paper about it, sadly without many stats
ok, those are some of the better site, in my opinion, in the first 20 of a google search. it's not everything, but i think it's a decent start. unfortunately, it seems that most stats are dated, but collecting and processing data takes time.
(for reference, the us gov't estimates our current population @ 299,461,448.)
