Enhancing Community Safety: Gang Graffiti Automatic Recognition and Interpretation System
This factsheet describes the Gang Graffiti Automatic Recognition and Interpretation (GARI) system, which was developed by the Center for Visualization and Data Analytics, a DHS Science and Technology (S&T) Center of Excellence. This system identifies and tracks gang activity by analyzing gang graffiti through an app. The user takes an image of the graffiti and GARI gives an immediate analysis of the tag, including gang affiliation and interpretation. GARI is available on Android systems and desktop computers. Currently law enforcement officials in Indiana are using GARI.

Hate Crime Statistics 2013
This is the Federal Bureau of Investigation's (FBI) 2013 Hate Crime Statistics webpage. The FBI's annual Hate Crime Statistics webpage is comprised of data collected by the Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program. "On April 23, 1990, Congress passed the Hate Crime Statistics Act, 28 U.S.C. § 534, which required the Attorney General to collect data 'about crimes that manifest evidence of prejudice based on race, religion, sexual orientation, or ethnicity.' The Attorney General delegated the responsibilities of developing the procedures for implementing, collecting, and managing hate crime data to the Director of the FBI, who, in turn, assigned the tasks to the UCR Program. Under the direction of the Attorney General and with the cooperation and assistance of many local and state law enforcement agencies, the UCR Program created a hate crime data collection to comply with the congressional mandate. […] The designers of the Hate Crime Statistics Program sought to capture information about the types of bias that motivate crimes, the nature of the offenses, and some information about the victims and offenders. […] The hate crime data in this Web publication comprise a subset of information that law enforcement agencies submit to the UCR Program." This interactive webpage allows readers to browse hate crime statistics by the following five categories: Incidents and Offenses, Victims, Offenders, Location Type, and Hate Crime by Jurisdiction. For each category, readers can view statistical tables, learn important notes about the data collected, and review an overview of the data for that category.

Protecting Unaccompanied Alien Children from Trafficking and Other Abuses: The Role of the Office of Refugee Resettlement
This is a Staff Report of the Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations of the United States Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Government Affairs. This Report addresses concerns regarding the thousands of unaccompanied alien children (UACs) that arrive in the U.S. annually: "Each year, thousands of UACs enter the United States, unaccompanied by their parents or relatives and are taken into U.S. custody. Congress has tasked the Department of Health and Human Services's Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) with finding appropriate homes in which to place UACs temporarily pending the resolution of their immigration proceedings. Through procedures described below, HHS attempts to place each UAC with a suitable adult sponsor--someone who can care for them and ensure their appearance at their immigration hearings. [...] Over a period of four months in 2014, however, HHS placed a number of UACs in the hands of a ring of human traffickers who forced them to work on egg farms in and around Marion, Ohio, leading to a July 2015 federal criminal indictment. [...] The Subcommittee sought to determine whether the Marion placements were caused by a tragic series of missteps or more systemic deficiencies in HHS's UAC placement process. The Subcommittee reviewed 65 case files of UACs placed by ORR, including 34 UACs whose files contained at least some indication of human trafficking or other neglect or abuse, and a sample set of 28 other UACs placed with sponsors who were not close relatives. Based on that investigation, the Subcommittee concludes that HHS's policies and procedures were inadequate to protect the children in the agency's care."

Financial Front in the Global War on Terrorism
Because terrorist organizations must raise, move, and use money, aggressively pursuing terrorists on a financial front can and should be an integral component of any counter-terrorism strategy. There are a couple of different but interrelated dimensions of this front that either target terrorists' financial networks or capitalize on terrorists' dependency of finances. Focusing on these aspects of terrorists' finances can contribute to the disruption of terrorists' financial support as well as aid in the identification and, ultimately, the destruction of terrorist organizations. This paper examines some of the actions taken and lessons learned by the multiple agencies, corporations, and individuals that have all played critical roles on the financial front in the global war on terrorism. This analysis reveals insights into the uses and implications of these tactics and how they can effectively fit into an overall campaign to combat terrorism. More importantly, the lessons demonstrate how these tactics are interrelated and will be most effective if law enforcement, financial, intelligence, and military personnel are able to use selective actions against specific terrorist targets.

Tennessee Bureau of Investigation [website]
"The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation [TBI] was born as a result of a highly publicized murder that occurred in Greene County in December of 1949. The heinous crime aroused the emotions of citizens throughout the region. In an address to the Tennessee Press Association in January of 1951, John M. Jones, Sr., publisher of the Greeneville Sun, called for the creation of an unbiased state agency to assist local law enforcement in the investigation of serious crimes. […] Since that time, the Bureau has grown significantly, and continues to meet the demands of providing up-to-date investigative, forensic science and crime information services as well as support to Tennessee's entire criminal justice system. The TBI takes pride in the fact that it has evolved over the years into a respected law enforcement organization with highly trained, dedicated, professional employees. The Bureau is one of the few law enforcement agencies in the country to achieve the level of accreditation that it has, with both Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies (CALEA) and American Society of Crime Laboratory Directors Laboratory Accreditation Board (ASCLD/LAB), and continues its commitment to maintain those accreditations. In July 2000, the TBI moved into a new consolidated headquarters building in Nashville and December 2001 saw the grand opening of a consolidated facility in Memphis. In 2008, the Knoxville Consolidated Facility was built and for the first time employees in East Tennessee are housed under one roof. These facilities are allowing the TBI to remain at the forefront of the application of new technologies in criminal investigations, in working to improve communication among other state and local law enforcement agencies, and in vigorously pursuing the ultimate goal summed up in the Bureau's mission statement, to ensure 'that guilt shall not escape, nor innocence suffer.'"
