Regarding Hate Crimes, EMS Providers Should

Regarding hate crimes, EMS providers should:

A) not rush to the conclusion that a violent act is a hate crime, as hate crimes are rare and often only seen in very urban areas.
B) be sure that a health care provider of the same minority group is available to care for a victim of a hate crime.
C) document all possible hate crimes and report them to adult protective services.
D) assume that any violent act toward a commonly victimized group is a hate crime until proven otherwise, and involve the police if necessary.
