Hate crimes 2010-2015
A hate crime is any criminal act that is motivated by bias toward a certain group.
Such biases are defined by federal law. They include animosity toward a race or ethnicity, a religious group, a gender identity or sexual orientation, or people with disabilities.
The FBI's Uniform Crime Reports (UCR) gather statistics on hate crimes from local law enforcement agencies throughout the country. This article explores the UCR data on hate crimes for the six most recent years available.
