U.S. News FBI opening fewer civil-rights inquiries

The FBI touts civil-rights enforcement as a top priority, but the number of investigations into such cases – from hate crimes to police abuses – has fallen sharply, raising concerns that victims are left with nowhere else to turn. Pressed by the Bush administration to beef up counterterrorism ranks, the Bureau has pulled agents off civil rights and slashed the number of investigations conducted nationwide. From 2001-2005, new policies have contributed to two-thirds fewer investigations targeting crimes typically left to federal jurisdiction.
