Sarah Lawrence College: Anti-Asian Racism & Violence – Are Hate Crime Prosecutions the Answer?
May 4, 2021 /
Webinar /
6:30 PM - 7:30 PM ET
In the wake of both the Atlanta shootings—where six Asian women were shot dead by a white male—and the pervasive anti-Asian racism and violence that has occurred amidst the pandemic, this Sarah Lawrence College Justice Series webinar will tackle what it means to prosecute these injustices as hate crimes. Partner and former federal prosecutor Shan Wu will discuss the history of anti-Asian violence in the U.S. and the role of the criminal justice system in prosecuting crimes against Asians.
