Hate Crime Statistics

Hate Crime Statistics track incidents where individuals are targeted because of their race, ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, or other protected characteristics. These statistics help to identify patterns and assess the prevalence of such crimes, informing law enforcement, policymakers, and communities. They are collected through reports from law enforcement agencies and often published annually, providing insight into the scope and locations of hate-motivated offenses. This data is essential for understanding the impact of hate crimes, fostering awareness, and developing strategies to prevent them and support affected victims.
