**Hate Crimes**
Hate Crimes are crimes that are targeted towards a specific race, religion, or ethnicity. Hate Crimes can be deadly. Also Hate Crimes can just be as simple as spray paint. Muslims are mostly targeted by [|Hate Crimes]. Also Jews are very big victims. People do Hate Crimes for no good reason. Hate Crimes could cause violence everywhere, such as schools. Vandalism is a hate crime and so is terrorism. Hate Crimes can go to any extent and could be anything. Jews and Muslims get targeted with hate crimes because of their religion. The Holocaust is an example of a Hate Crime shooting towards the Jews. The U.S.A killed Osama Bin Laden because of him being Muslim and also because of what his country did to us Americans (9-11).

**Racism **
Racism is as you may know the hatred to another race besides your own. [|Racism] brings violence and pain to others. It makes people feel like they aren't wanted in this world and that is not needed at all in anyway. People do take these words to offense and in that matter you should watch what you say because you never know what kind of person you are talking to or who is listening.

Hate Crimes
Some Causes of [|Hate Crimes] are people just being dumb. Most people have no specific reason for doing what they did. Effects of Hate Crimes could be very deadly. Also some effects are people could go to jail for vandalism. People are impacted a lot most of the time of Hate Crimes. People can be traumatized for life sometimes.

**Racism ** Racism doesnt exactly have a cause. Some people in todays society just have a weird hatred to other races. They think their race is better than all the others. People like this are called Racists. People like that might also speak with violence. There are many violent events in school due to racism. Kids get beaten up for using the “N” word. That word is taken to offense. People don't understand what kind of words are coming out of their mouths and they don't know what kind of people are going to react to it. People with their races are also put into stereotypical groupings. Muslims are considered Terrorists. Blacks are considered Ghetto and Violent. Groups like this are just ridiculous. Society needs to watch what they say and do when it comes to race. Even if you aren't a racist person it could be taken the wrong way.

**Solutions**
A way people can stop hate-crimes is by increasing Neighborhood watch groups. That will help by people seeing a problem before it occurs. Members could set up night watches and get help from local authorities. Also you can increase securities in schools and airports or any other places where there is a great population of people. In todays society you need to do anything you can to make everybody safe because you never really know what's going to happen next nowadays.
 * Hate Crimes**

Racism
Some solutions for Racism can be to create some activities to bring everyone together in your schools and events to also bring everyone together and to come to a realization that we are all the same. At first the kids might not like the idea but they will warm up to it. You can also bring consequences to the table in your schools. Doing this might bring down the violence level in schools due to racism. Kids get beaten up all the time because of the remarks they make and the things they say. If these comments weren't said and kept in one's mind then maybe things wouldn't be like the way it is now.
