This press release can be found at: http://www.fbi.gov/pressrel/pressrel08/hatecrimestats_102708.htm
The press release gives statistics on the frequency of hate crimes in 2007, and then proceeds to break down the frequency of hate crimes against specific races, ethnicities, religions, and other minorities.
At the end it breaks down where most of the hate crimes occur, and after homes, alleys, and highways is colleges or schools. It would be interesting to interview colleges in the area and ask about the frequency of hate crimes. Another source I would interview is a representative from groups like the gay-straight alliance, or NAACP to talk about what these statistics mean to them and how they fit into the larger picture of acceptance and respect within their groups.
