Bystander Effect in Hate Crimes
Most hate crimes and incidents occur in public spaces like public transport, streets, shops, and bars. These places are rarely empty, and bystanders are present in up to 86% of these cases. We need to take responsibility and learn how to be active bystanders so we can de-escalate these situations!
Thank you to Heidi Lau from Asian Youth Center (https://www.aycla.org/) for educating us on the bystander effect and how to react when we see a hate crime/incident. Los Angeles offers free bystander intervention training for Asian communities, held in multiple languages including English, Mandarin, Cantonese, Korean, Thai, Vietnamese, and Tagalog virtually and in-person.
