According to the most recent FBI data, there were more than 400 reported hate crimes committed against members of the LGBTQ+ community nationwide in 2021. Increased tracking has helped record the incidents, and locally it could be the key to solving more of those crimes. Last week, the Philadelphia District Attorney's Office announced an arrest in the case of a transgender woman attacked in Kensington in 2022. The LGBTQ+ Crime Tracker helped ensure the Kensington attack victim was treated appropriately. According to the DA's LGBTQ+ Liaison Office, over two years the Crime Tracker has yielded a 58% increase in appropriately identifying people involved in criminal cases in the LGBTQ+ community. #Queer Up The USA View
