A New York man was indicted on several felony charges, including second-degree murder as a hate crime, in connection to an incident from March, the Westchester County District Attorney’s Office announced Wednesday.

To reduce discrimination and bias, the report recommends policies that strengthen and improve education, robust community responses to hateful incidents, and an expansion of civil rights. Experts said that institutions of higher education have a critical role to play in this work.

Those who identified as Chinese reported the highest number of hate incidents (43%). Those who identified as Korean were the second highest to report (16%) and Filipino were the third highest (9%).
