In meeting this mission, Attorney General Kathy Jennings is supported by teams of talented lawyers and staff in the Criminal, Civil, Family, Fraud and Consumer Protection, and Civil Rights and Public Trust Divisions.

Summary Statement
The Delaware Department of Justice's Division of Civil Rights and Public Trust (DCRPT) seeks to enhance its efforts to raise awareness and address the increasing numbers of hate crimes and bias incidents that occur statewide. As part of its efforts, the Division of Civil Rights and Public Trust applied for, and was awarded, a federal grant by the U.S. Bureau of Justice Assistance, Matthew Shepard and James Byrd, Jr. Hate Crimes Program. The goal of the grant program is to comprehensively address and prevent hate crimes through increased public awareness and reporting of hate crimes and to enhance law enforcement and prosecution strategies to prevent and respond to hate crimes, thereby bringing justice for hate crime victims and other stakeholders.
The grant award has allowed the Division of Civil Rights and Public Trust to allocate funding for a full-time victim service specialist position throughout the 4-year life of the grant. This Victim Service Specialist ("VSS") will be the first, and only, VSS position within the Division of Civil Rights and Public Trust and will be assigned to the Division's New Castle County Offices at 900 North King Street. This Victim Support Specialist will be involved with supporting victims of hate crimes at all stages of prosecution, from case in-take through sentencing; and will provide assistance to the victims of crime and to their families. This position may be tasked with creating the related training presentations and materials. Pursuant to the grant award goals and objectives, the person that fills this position will be responsible for utilizing grant funds to create original programs or planning events that will serve to raise awareness and combat hate crimes and bias incidents. This may involve helping to expand DCRPT's outreach to include students, teachers, and school administrators. The VSS will assist others with fulfilling grant award reporting requirements, which includes tracking and generating statistical and program progress reports. Given that DCRPT handles matters statewide, occasionally the VSS may be required to travel to other counties.

The VSS will help to facilitate mediation in situations in which hate activity occurs, but prosecution is not possible or the best solution.
