Hate Crime Statistics Act

The Hate Crime Statistics Act is a U.S. law that requires the federal government to collect and report data on crimes motivated by bias against specific characteristics, such as race, religion, sexual orientation, or disability. This information helps raise awareness about hate crimes and guides law enforcement and policymakers in addressing these issues. By tracking these incidents, the Act aims to promote community safety, foster understanding, and inform efforts to combat discrimination and prejudice in society.
