ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

We acknowledge a number of individuals who have assisted us through the development and preparation of this book. First, we want to thank Deputy Superintendent William Johnston, former Commander of the Boston Police Department's Community Disorders Unit, who has dedicated his career to fighting hate crimes and has taught thousands of police and public officials (as well as the authors of this book) that hate crimes are among the most serious of all offenses. We also acknowledge the important activities of advocacy groups across the country, particularly the Anti-Defamation League of Bnai Brith; the Southern Poverty Law Center; the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force; the Prejudice Institute; and the National Hate Crime Prevention Center, whose members have worked for years, with little public encouragement, to document and address the suffering of hate crime victims.

In conducting the research for this book, we depended on the assistance of a number of individuals. We are particularly grateful to Michael Levin of the New York Institute of Technology, whose research assistance for this book was indispensable. We also thank Gordana Rabrenovic, Amy Farrell, Debbie Ramirez, Shea Cronin, Jen Balboni, Suzy Bennett, Glenn Pierce, and Robyn Miliano of Northeastern University's Institute for Race and Justice. Thanks to Janese Free, Colleen Keaney, Jason Mazaik, and Stas Vysotsky of Northeastern's Brudnick Center on Violence and Conflict for their support in developing and refining many of our ideas about hate crimes.
