I think that diversity training is a very strong tool in the fight on hate crimes. Understanding all different backgrounds and different ethnic differences is key to fighting against hate crimes. It is also key to assisting law enforcement. Officers should be the ones that are the most benevolant when it comes to "hate crimes", and should be fighting for the victim, no matter what race or religion.
Education for officers is the biggest thing that can happen to help with the prosecution of hate crimes. The more they understand, the less different cultures and ethnic backgrounds will be "different" to them. And the more familiar they are with things, the easier it is to see the good, and fight agains the horrible things done to the people.

They need just to investigate the crime, and let the DA decide if it rates to a hate crime or not.
Most crimes are not done out of love but some level of hate anyway.

The best way would be for all laws related to "hate crimes" be removed from the books so the legal system did not get bogged down with juvenile nonsense.

The same strategies they use for the other kind of crime--love crimes.

Normal investigative techniques. I don't see the difference in a crime vs. hate crime. A crime is a crime.... I don't think they should differentiate.
