The Biden administration has outlined new steps to tackle hate crimes in the United States, less than a week after a gunman killed 10 Black people at a grocery store in Buffalo, New York, in what officials say was a racist attack.At a news conference on Friday, US Attorney General Merrick Garland said the Department of Justice will issue guidance to help law enforcement agencies, government officials and community groups raise awareness of the problem.Garland said $10m in grant funding would go to support community-based approaches to preventing and addressing hate crimes; to develop better reporting to the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and to “fund states to establish and run reporting hotlines for victims of hate crimes”.
