Foreword
The American Psychological Association says of hate crime “... not only is it an attack on one’s physical
self, but it is also an attack on one’s very identity.” Attacks upon individuals because of a difference in
how they look, pray, or behave have long been a part of human history. It is only recently, however, that
our society has given it a name and decided to monitor it, study it, and legislate against it. As a result,
law enforcement has been given the task of identifying and responding to bias-motivated crime. In order
to discharge this duty, the criminal justice community must have adequate information about the nature
and prevalence of hate crime. The Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program has been a primary source
of crime statistics for the use of law enforcement since the Program’s establishment in 1929. When the
Hate Crimes Statistics Act of 1990 was passed, the UCR Program was the logical choice to become a
clearinghouse for the collection and sharing of data regarding these distinct crimes. Since 1991, the
Program has compiled and published statistics on offenses determined by law enforcement to have been
driven by bias against race, religion, ethnicity, sexual orientation, and since 1994, disability. This edition of
Hate Crime Statistics is the latest presentation in this series aimed at better equipping law enforcement to
handle the complex and difficult challenge of dealing with hate crime.
The national Uniform Crime
Reporting (UCR) Program
would like to hear from you.
The staff at the national UCR Program are
continuously striving to improve our publications.
We would appreciate it if the primary user of this
publication would complete the evaluation form

Introduction
When Congress passed the Hate Crime
Statistics Act of 1990, lawmakers
mandated the collection of information
regarding crimes motivated by a bias
against race, religion, sexual orientation,
and/or ethnicity/national origin. The
Attorney General designated the FBI
to satisfy that requirement. With the
cooperation and assistance of many
local and state law enforcement agencies
familiar with the investigation of hate
crimes and the collection of related
information, the UCR Program created
a data collection system to comply with
the congressional mandate. The UCR
first published information regarding
hate crime data collection in Hate Crime
Statistics, 1990: A Resource Book , a
compilation of hate crime data reported
by 11 states that had collected them
under state authority in 1990 and were
willing to participate. After the national
Program implemented a uniform method
of data collection, the inaugural edition
of Hate Crime Statistics presented
data reported by participating law
enforcement agencies throughout the
Nation in 1992.
The Violent Crime and Law
Enforcement Act of 1994 amended the
Hate Crime Statistics Act to include bias
against disabilities. The FBI started
gathering data for the additional bias
motivation on January 1, 1997. Further,
the Church Arson Prevention Act,
which was signed into law in July 1996,
removed the sunset clause from the
original statute and indefinitely extended
the mandate, hence making hate crime
data collection a permanent part of the
UCR Program.
Collection Design
The hate crime data collection program
was designed to capture information
about the types of bias that motivate
a crime, the nature of the offense, and
some attributes of the victims and
offenders. In creating the program,
developers considered many factors
and recognized that hate crimes are
not separate, distinct crimes. Instead,
hate crimes were, and continue to
be, traditional offenses motivated by
the offender’s bias. For example,
an offender may commit an assault
because of a bias he or she has against
the victim’s race, religion, sexual
orientation, ethnicity or national
origin, or disability. Therefore, it was
not necessary to create new crime
categories; hate crime data could
be obtained by collecting additional
information about crimes currently
being reported to the UCR Program.
Law enforcement’s support and
participation are vital in moving the hate
crime data collection effort from concept
to reality. Those organizations that
have endorsed the UCR Program’s hate
crime program include the International
Association of Chiefs of Police, the
National Sheriffs’ Association, the
former UCR Data Providers Advisory
Policy Board (which is now part of
the Criminal Justice Information
Services Advisory Policy Board), the
International Association of Directors
of Law Enforcement Standards
and Training, and the Association
of State Uniform Crime Reporting
Programs. In addition to this support,
law enforcement’s commitment to
participate by identifying and reporting
hate crimes is crucial to the national
Program’s success.
Participation
During 2002, more than 17,000 law
enforcement agencies participated in the
national UCR Program. Of that total,
12,073 agencies in 49 states and the
District of Columbia, representing 247
million inhabitants or 85.7 percent of the
Nation’s population, participated in the
hate crime program.
Agencies reporting data
through Summary or the National
Incident-Based Reporting System
(NIBRS) submit hate crime data to the
FBI either through state UCR Programs
or directly (agencies in non-Program
states). (A directory of state UCR
Programs is available in the Appendix
of this publication.) The table on the
following page presents the number of
law enforcement agencies participating
in UCR and hate crime reporting by
population group and the population
covered collectively by those agencies
within the group.
Valid information is critical to
law enforcement in developing effective
measures to combat bias-motivated
crime. By participating in the hate
crime data collection program, law
enforcement agencies are raising the
Nation’s awareness of bias-motivated
crimes.
Methodology
The FBI collects hate crime data
regarding criminal offenses committed
against persons, property, or society
that are motivated, in whole or in part,
by the offender’s bias against a race,
religion, disability, sexual orientation,
or ethnicity/national origin. Because
motivation is subjective, it is difficult
to know with certainty whether a
crime was the result of the offender’s
bias. Law enforcement investigation is
crucial because it must reveal sufficient
evidence to lead a reasonable and
prudent person to conclude that the
offender’s actions were motivated, in
whole or in part, by his or her bias.
Only then should law enforcement
report an incident as a hate crime.
Data Collection
Because hate crimes are traditional
offenses motivated by the offender’s
bias, law enforcement needs only to
capture additional information about 11
select offenses already being reported
to the UCR Program to collect hate
crime data: murder and nonnegligent
manslaughter, forcible rape, aggravated
assault, simple assault, and intimidation
( crimes against persons ) and robbery,
burglary, larceny-theft, motor vehicle
theft, arson, and destruction/damage/
vandalism ( crimes against property ).
Furthermore, the offense classification
other and the crime category crimes
against society include 35 Group A
Offenses (not listed) that are captured
in NIBRS, which also collects the
previously mentioned 11 offense
categories. (The Uniform Crime
Reporting Handbook, NIBRS edition,
provides an explanation of all 46 Group
A Offenses.)
A hate crime incident can
involve more than one offense, victim,
and/or offender. In submitting data
to the national UCR Program, law
enforcement scores one offense for
each victim of a crime against a person.
When submitting a crime against
property , however, law enforcement
scores one offense for each distinct
incident, regardless of the number of
victims. Likewise, law enforcement
agencies submitting data through
NIBRS score one offense for each
distinct incident (not victim) of a crime
against society.
Data Reporting
Hate crime data are reported by agencies
submitting data through UCR Summary
reporting or via the NIBRS. Agencies
using summary reporting and some
agencies reporting via NIBRS use two
standard forms to collect and report
data: the Hate Crime Incident Report
and the Quarterly Hate Crime Report.
These forms supply the national UCR
Program with information about each
hate crime incident including the offense
classification and its respective bias
motivation, the number and type of
victims, the location of the incident, the
number of suspected offenders, and the
suspected offender’s race.
During a calendar quarter,
law enforcement agencies submit a
Hate Crime Incident Report for each
bias-motivated incident. At the end
of each calendar quarter, reporting
agencies submit a Quarterly Hate
Crime Report, which includes the total
number of incidents reported for the
quarter and deletes any previously
reported incidents that were, through
subsequent investigation, determined not
to be bias motivated. Additionally, law
enforcement agencies submit Quarterly
Hate Crime Reports to report zero hate
crime incidents; that is, no hate crime
incidents occurred in their jurisdiction
that quarter.
Most agencies reporting data
electronically to the national UCR
Program via NIBRS use a data element
within their reporting software that
indicates a hate crime. Because the
data element applies to all 46 of the
Group A Offenses, it allows agencies
to indicate whether any of the 35
additional offenses were bias motivated.
Furthermore, these agencies can report
considerably more information about
the hate crime incident since NIBRS is
an incident-based, comprehensive data
collection system.
Data Publication
To be included in this publication,
law enforcement agencies must have
submitted data for at least 1 month of
the calendar year. The published data,
therefore, do not necessarily represent
reports from each participating agency
for 12 months or 4 quarters. Section II
of this publication furnishes individual
state and agency information, including
the number of quarters for which the
agency reported data to the national
Program.
Notes:
1. When examining the data
contained in this report, data
users should be aware that the
first line following the title of
each table presents in boldface
type that table’s unit of count,
i.e., incident, offense, victim,
known offender.
2. It is incumbent upon all
data users to become as well
educated as possible about how
to understand and quantify
the nature and extent of hate
crime in the United States
and in any of the more than
12,000 jurisdictions from
which agencies contribute
data to the UCR hate crime
program. Valid assessments are
possible only with careful study
and analysis of the various
unique conditions affecting
each local law enforcement
jurisdiction. Until data users
examine all the variables that
affect crime in a town, city,
county, state, region, or college
or university, they can make
no meaningful comparisons.
The article “Crime Factors” in
the beginning of each edition
of Crime in the United States
(accessible at the FBI’s Internet
site at <www.fbi.gov>) presents
a comprehensive discussion
of the many factors that affect
crime in a jurisdiction.
Arson investigations led to hate
crime reports of 38 offenses in 2002.
Of these, officials determined that 16
were the result of a racial bias, 13 were
associated with a religious bias, 6 with
a sexual-orientation bias, and 3 with an
ethnicity or national origin bias. (See
Table 4.)
Victims
In the context of hate crime data
collection, the term victim refers to a
person, business, institution, or society
as a whole, unless otherwise specified.
By Bias Motivation
During 2002, there were 9,222 victims
associated with 8,832 hate crime
offenses. A study of victim data for
single-bias hate crimes showed that
racial bias motivated the crimes against
nearly half—49.7 percent—of all the
victims. Offenders committed crimes
against 18.0 percent of hate crime
victims because of religious bias, 16.
percent due to sexual-orientation bias,
15.3 percent because of ethnicity or
national origin bias, and 0.5 percent
due to disability bias. There were 11
victims of the 3 multiple-bias hate crime
incidents in 2002. (Based on Table 1.)
Among the 4,580 victims of
racially bias-motivated offenses, 67.
percent were victims of anti-black bias,
19.9 percent of anti-white bias, 6.
percent of anti-Asian or anti-Pacific
Islander bias, and 1.6 percent were
victims of anti-American Indian or anti-
Alaskan Native bias. The remaining
5.3 percent of victims of racially
bias-motivated offenses resulted from
bias directed at groups composed of
individuals of different races. (Based on
Table 1.)
Victims of anti-Jewish bias
accounted for 65.3 percent of the 1,
victims of religious bias offenses.
Anti-Islamic bias motivated the crimes
against 10.5 percent of those victims,
anti-Catholic bias contributed to 4.
percent, anti-Protestant bias accounted
for 3.5 percent, and anti-Atheism or anti-
Agnosticism, etc. bias contributed to
0.2 percent. Biases against members of
other religious groups and those directed
at groups made up of individuals from
multiple religious faiths accounted for
14.3 percent and 1.9 percent of the
victims, respectively. (Based on Table 1.)
Examination of the data for
the 1,513 victims of crimes motivated
by sexual-orientation bias revealed that
65.0 percent were victims of anti-male
homosexual bias, 17.6 percent were
targets of anti-homosexual bias (male
and female), 14.6 percent were victims
of anti-female homosexual bias, 1.
percent of anti-heterosexual bias, and
1.0 percent of anti-bisexual bias. (Based
on Table 1.)
Of the 1,409 victims of
ethnicity/national origin bias in 2002,
45.4 percent were victims of anti-
Hispanic bias, and 54.6 percent were
victims of a bias against other ethnicities
or national origins. (Based on Table 1.)
Disability bias motivated the
hate crimes against 50 victims. Sixty
percent (30 victims) were targets of anti-
mental disability bias and 40.0 percent
(20 victims) were targets of anti-physical
disability bias. (Based on Table 1.)
By Offense Category
A breakdown of the data for the 9,
hate crime victims in 2002 showed that
64.6 percent (5,960) were victims of
crimes against persons, 34.8 percent
(3,213 victims) were targets of crimes
against property, and 0.5 percent (49)
were victims of crimes against society.
(Based on Table 2.)
An analysis of the 5,
victims of hate crimes against persons
and their respective offense types
revealed that 52.1 percent were victims
of intimidation, 30.1 percent were
victims of simple assault, 17.4 percent
were victims of aggravated assault, 0.
percent were victims of murder, and 0.
percent were victims of forcible rape.
Victims of other offense types accounted
for 0.2 percent of the victim total of
crimes against persons. (Based on
Table 2.)
Of the 3,213 victims of hate
crimes against property, most (82.
percent) were victims of destruction/
damage/vandalism. Victims of robbery
comprised 5.6 percent of the victim
count for the crimes against property
classification; burglary, 5.1 percent;
larceny-theft, 4.9 percent; arson,
1.5 percent; and motor vehicle theft
accounted for 0.3 percent. Victims of
other offense types made up 0.5 percent
of victims of crimes against property.
(Based on Table 2.)
By Victim Type
Among the 2,823 hate crime offenses
against property, a distribution of
victim types showed that 53.8 percent
of the offenses were directed at
individuals, 10.0 percent at business
or financial institutions, 6.7 percent at
religious organizations, 6.0 percent at
government, and 6.0 percent at society/
public. Other, unknown, and multiple
victim types accounted for 17.5 percent.
(Based on Table 6.)
Offenders
As defined by the UCR hate crime
program, the term known offender does
not imply that the suspect’s identity
is known but that an attribute of the
suspect is identified, which distinguishes
him or her from an unknown offender.
On the Hate Crime Incident Report
form, reporting agencies can specify the
number of offenders and, when possible,
the offender’s apparent race as the
identifying attribute(s).
In 2002, law enforcement
agencies reported a total of 7,314 known
offenders associated with 7,462 bias-
motivated incidents. (See Table 1.) Of
the known offenders, 61.8 percent were
white, 21.8 percent were black, 1.
percent were Asian or Pacific Islander,
and 0.6 percent were American Indian or
Alaskan Native. Groups of individuals
representing various races accounted for
4.9 percent of all known offenders. The
remaining 9.8 percent of offenders were
of unknown races. (Based on Table 9.)
By crime category, 6,
known offenders committed 5,960 hate
crime offenses against persons. Of those
offenders, 40.0 percent committed the
offense of simple assault, 34.8 percent
committed intimidation, and 24.
percent committed aggravated assault.
Data for 1,423 known offenders of
the 2,823 hate crime offenses against
property indicated that 65.1 percent of
the offenders committed destruction/
damage/vandalism, and 18.9 percent
committed robbery. Sixty-one known
offenders were responsible for the 49
crimes against society. (Based on Table 2.)
Location
A review of the data by location showed
that 29.5 percent of all reported hate
crime incidents occurred at homes or
residences. The review also showed
highways, roads, alleys, or streets as
the location for another 20.0 percent of
the reported incidents. More than 10
percent (10.6) of hate crime incidents
took place at schools and colleges, and
6.2 percent happened in parking lots or
garages. The location was unknown or
unspecified for 12.3 percent of incidents.
The remaining incidents, 21.6 percent,
took place in a variety of locations. (See
Table 10.)
A breakdown of bias-motivated
incidents by location indicated that
30.0 percent of the 3,642 racially-
motivated hate crime incidents occurred
at residences or homes; 23.5 percent
happened on a highway, road, alley, or
street; and 11.0 percent took place at
schools or colleges. (Based on Table 10.)
Of the 1,426 incidents where
a religious bias was the motivation,
26.2 percent took place at residences
or homes; 16.9 percent at churches,
synagogues, or temples; and 10.
percent at schools or colleges. (Based
on Table 10.)
Incidents associated with
a sexual-orientation bias (1,244)
most often took place at homes or
residences—30.8 percent; 24.8 percent
took place on a highway, road, alley,
or street; and 13.4 percent occurred at
schools or colleges. (Based on Table 10.)
Approximately 30 percent
(30.7) of the 1,102 incidents motivated
by an ethnicity or national origin bias
occurred at residences or homes, and
18.1 percent happened on a highway,
road, alley, or street. A school or college
was the setting for 6.0 percent of these
incidents. (Based on Table 10.)
Of the 45 incidents involving a
disability bias, 20.0 percent occurred at
homes or residences; and 20.0 percent
took place on a highway, road, alley, or
street. Schools and colleges accounted
for another 11.1 percent. (Based on
Table 10.)
A more complete breakdown
of the locations associated with bias
motivated incidents is published in
Table 10.
