Legal innovation startup CuroLegal last week launched a web application, co-sponsored by the American Bar Association’s Center for Innovation and funded by Cisco, to help people figure out whether they may have experienced or witnessed a hate crime and how to report it if so.
The tool, called Hate Crime Help, allows users to select key information from a drop-down menu describing their experience and what they believe may have motivated the potential hate crime. From there, the tool suggests a number of different contacts in order of priority, including local law enforcement, nonprofit organizations, data collection projects, attorneys general, and local FBI agencies.
