A Hate Crime Detective's Message to High School Students

Bias crimes investigator Detective David D'Amico regularly visits schools to talk frankly and powerfully to the group responsible for the majority of these crimes—young people. His presentation includes cautionary advice not only about how derogatory words used online are hurtful but how they can also make the user a target for recruitment by hate groups. D'Amico works in the Monmouth County Prosecutor's Office, New Jersey.
