National Hate Crime Statistics

National Hate Crime Statistics are figures collected by government agencies to track incidents where individuals are targeted because of their race, religion, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender identity, or other protected characteristics. These statistics help understand the prevalence and patterns of hate-motivated crimes across the country. They are based on reports from law enforcement and provide insight into areas needing community support or intervention. While not all hate crimes are reported, these statistics are a valuable tool for raising awareness, guiding policy, and promoting efforts to combat hate and promote safety for all communities.
