Hate crimes in Long Beach on the rise in 2017, CSUSB center’s study showsLong Beach Press-TelegramSept. 23, 2017

Hate crimes are up this year in many large cities across California and the U.S., but Long Beach has shown a particularly pronounced increase by comparison, according to researchers at Cal State San Bernardino who track reported hate crimes.

There have been 12 hate crimes reported through August this year in Long Beach, according to numbers provided by the Long Beach Police Department.

“The rise in hate crimes in Long Beach reflects an overall trend that we’re seeing in nearly every jurisdiction that we have data for,” said Brian Levin, professor of criminal justice who directs CSUSB’s Center for the Study of Hate and Extremism. “Long Beach’s increase is more dramatic, but it still fits well within a trend that we’re seeing for 2017.”

Levin’s data set includes 13 large cities across the U.S. from which he’s been able to get numbers for varying portions of this year.
