Foreword
In response to Congress’ passage of the Hate Crime Statistics Act of 1990 and subsequent acts that
amended the directive, the FBI Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program collects and publishes data on
crimes motivated by racial, religious, ethnicity/national-origin, sexual-orientation, and disability bias. In
2001, 9,730 bias-motivated incidents were voluntarily reported by law enforcement agencies nationwide.
From the fi rst year that national hate crime data were published in 1992 until 2000, incidents
motivated by racial bias comprised the largest portion of reported hate crime incidents followed by incidents
motivated by a religious bias and those motivated by bias against sexual orientation. The fewest number of
hate crime incidents resulted from ethnicity or national-origin bias, until the addition of the disability bias in
1997, which then became the lowest portion of reported hate crime incidents.
That distribution changed in 2001, presumably as a result of the heinous incidents that occurred on
September 11. For many offenders, the preformed negative opinion, or bias, was directed toward ethnicity/
national origin. Consistent with past data, by bias type, law enforcement reported that most incidents in 2001
were motivated by bias against race. However, crime incidents motivated by bias against ethnicity/national
origin were the second most frequently reported bias in 2001, more than doubling the number of incidents,
offenses, victims, and known offenders from 2000 data. Additionally, the anti-other ethnicity/national origin
category quadrupled in incidents, offenses, victims, and known offenders.
Another noticeable increase in 2001 was among religious-bias incidents. Anti-Islamic religion
incidents were previously the second least reported, but in 2001, they became the second highest reported
among religious-bias incidents (anti-Jewish religion incidents were the highest), growing by more than 1,
percent over the 2000 volume. In 2001, reported data showed there were 481 incidents made up of 546
offenses having 554 victims of crimes motivated by bias toward the Islamic religion.
Hate crimes touch not only the individual victim, but they also affect the entire group associated with
the particular bias motivation. Unfair and inaccurate stereotyping can make victims of all who share the same
race, religion, ethnicity or national origin, sexual orientation, or disability. Law enforcement’s commitment
to hate crime awareness and collecting and reporting data surrounding bias-motivated offenses underscores
the notion that valid information is essential in developing tools with which to combat these pernicious
crimes.
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 at the end of this book and either mail it to us at the indicated address or fax it to 304-625-5394.
Introduction
Background
W
ith the passage of the Hate Crime Statistics Act
of 1990, Congress mandated the collection of
information about crimes motivated by a bias against
a person’s race, religion, sexual orientation, and/or
ethnicity/national origin. Under the commission
of the Attorney General and with the aid of several
local and state law enforcement agencies already
investigating and collecting information about
hate crimes, the FBI’s Uniform Crime Reporting
(UCR) Program developed a data collection system
to comply with the Congressional mandate. Hate
Crime Statistics, 1990: A Resource Book was
the fi rst publication that made available the hate
crime data reported by 11 individual states that had
collected hate crime data under state authority during
1990 and that were willing to participate. After
the national UCR Program implemented a uniform
method of data collection, the 1992 edition of Hate
Crime Statistics premiered the data reported by
participating law enforcement agencies across the
Nation.
The Hate Crime Statistics Act was amended
with the enactment of the Violent Crime and Law
Enforcement Act of 1994 to include bias against
persons with disabilities. The FBI began collecting
data for this additional bias motivation on January 1,
1997. Another amendment followed in July 1996
when the Church Arson Prevention Act was signed
into law, removing the sunset clause (a clause
requiring a review of the rationale for continuing
the act) from the original statute and permanently
extending the data collection mandate. As a result,
the FBI has made hate crime data collection a
permanent part of the UCR Program and continues
to encourage the voluntary participation of each law
enforcement agency.
Collection Design
The goal of the Hate Crime Statistics Act and
its subsequent amendments is to capture information
about the type of bias serving as the motivating
factor of a hate crime, the nature of the offense, and
the number and type of victim(s) and offender(s).
As they identifi ed the criteria that distinguish
hate crimes from other offenses, those involved in
the developmental phase of the Hate Crime Data
Collection Program recognized that hate crimes
are not separate, distinct crimes; instead, they are
traditional offenses motivated by the offender’s bias.
An offender, for example, may damage or vandalize
property because of his/her bias against the owner’s
(victim’s) race, religion, sexual orientation, ethnicity/
national origin, or disability. Therefore, rather than
create new crime categories, Program developers felt
that collecting additional information about crimes
already being reported to the UCR Program would
fulfi ll the directives addressed in the Hate Crime
Statistics Act as amended.
Because motivation is subjective, it is
diffi cult to know with certainty whether a crime was
the result of the offender’s bias. Law enforcement
investigation is critical to the determination process
because it must reveal suffi cient evidence as to
whether the offender’s actions were motivated, in
whole or in part, by bias. For this reason, the success
of the Program rests with the law enforcement
offi cers who determine that a bias motivation does
indeed exist.
The International Association of Chiefs of
Police, the National Sheriffs’ Association, the former
UCR Data Providers’ Advisory Policy Board (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 have endorsed the Hate Crime
Data Collection Program. Without their support and
law enforcement’s voluntary data collection, any effort
toward the success of the Program would be futile.
Participation
In 2001, nearly 17,000 law enforcement
agencies nationwide reported data to the national
UCR Program. Of that total, 11,987 agencies in 49
Methodology
Hate crime data collected by the FBI include
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. In addition to the offense classifi cation and
bias identifi cation, a hate crime report provides
information about each hate crime incident including
the type and number of victims, the location of the
incident, the number of suspected offenders, and the
suspected offender’s race.
Hate crimes are not separate, distinct crimes
but rather traditional offenses motivated by the
offender’s bias. It is, therefore, unnecessary for law
enforcement to create a new crime category in an
effort to capture hate crime data. To the contrary,
hate crime data are collected by capturing additional
information about offenses already being reported.
Data Reporting
Hate crime data are reported both by agencies
submitting data through the Summary Reporting
System (SRS) and by those submitting data via the
National Incident-Based Reporting System (NIBRS).
Agencies using the SRS and some agencies reporting
via NIBRS use two standard forms on which to
collect and report data: the Hate Crime Incident
Report and the Quarterly Hate Crime Report. These
forms supply the national UCR Program with hate
crime data for 11 offenses—the 8 Index crimes
(murder and nonnegligent manslaughter, forcible
rape, robbery, aggravated assault, burglary, larceny-
theft, motor vehicle theft, and arson) plus simple
assault, intimidation, and destruction/damage/
vandalism.
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
as well as deletes any previously reported incidents
that were later determined to be invalid (not bias-
motivated). Law enforcement agencies using this
form submit Quarterly Hate Crime Reports even
though they may be reporting zero hate crime
incidents.
Most agencies reporting data to the national
UCR Program via NIBRS use a data element within
their reporting software that indicates a hate crime.
However, since NIBRS is a comprehensive system
that is incident-based, considerably more information
about the hate crime incident can be reported.
Regardless of the reporting format the agency
follows, SRS or NIBRS, an important distinction
must be made when law enforcement report a hate
crime. The mere fact that the offender is biased
against the victim’s race, religion, disability, sexual
orientation, and/or ethnicity/national origin does
not mean that a hate crime was invariably involved.
Rather, the offender’s criminal act must have been
motivated, in whole or in part, by his/her bias.
Because motivation is subjective, it is diffi cult to
know with certainty whether a crime was the result
of the offender’s bias. Therefore, law enforcement
reports an incident as a hate crime only if the
investigation revealed suffi cient, objective facts to
lead a reasonable and prudent person to conclude that
the offender’s actions were motivated, in whole or
in part, by bias against a racial, religious, disability,
ethnicity/national-origin, or sexual-orientation group.
(A comprehensive discussion on the SRS and
NIBRS can be found in the Uniform Crime Reporting
Handbook and the Uniform Crime Reporting
Handbook, NIBRS edition.)
Data Collection
A hate crime incident can involve more than
one offense, victim, and/or offender. For counting
purposes, one offense is counted for each victim of
a crime against a person, and one offense is counted
for each distinct incident of a crime against property
and a crime against society (NIBRS only), regardless
of the number of victims. The total number of
victims in a given incident is the sum of victims
associated with each offense that took place within
the incident.
Agencies reporting data on the two hate crime
forms collect data on 11 offense categories: Murder
and nonnegligent manslaughter, forcible rape,
aggravated assault, simple assault, and intimidation
are classified as crimes against persons. Robbery,
burglary, larceny-theft, motor vehicle theft, arson,
and destruction/damage/vandalism of property are
classified as crimes against property.
For agencies submitting data via the NIBRS,
the data element indicating bias motivation applies
to all 46 Group “A” Offenses, which include the
previously mentioned 11 offense categories. The
remaining 35 Group “A” Offenses (not listed) are
reported in this publication as other or as crimes
against society, whichever is appropriate. (See the
Uniform Crime Reporting Handbook, NIBRS edition,
for a discussion of all 46 Group “A” Offenses.)
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 to data users:
1. When examining the data contained in this
report, it is helpful to note that the first line of
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 almost 12,000 agencies contributing
data to this publication. 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. (A more thorough discussion
of the factors that affect crime can be found
in Crime in the United States, in the chapter
entitled Crime Factors.)
and 1 to an anti-ethnicity or national-origin bias.
Concerning the offense of robbery, investigators
determined that 66 robberies were racially motivated
and 48 were motivated by a bias against a sexual
orientation. Thirty-four arson offenses were traced
to the offenders’ religious intolerance, 26 to racial
prejudice, and 22 to bias against an ethnicity or
national origin. (See Table 4.)
Victims
The term victim throughout this publication
refers to a person, business, institution, or society as
a whole, unless otherwise specified.
In 2001, there were 12,020 victims of 11,
hate crime offenses. Victims of racial bias accounted
for 46.2 percent of the 11,998 victims of single-
bias hate crime incidents. Victims of ethnicity or
national-origin bias accounted for 22.0 percent,
victims of religious bias comprised 17.7 percent,
victims of sexual-orientation bias made up 13.
percent, and victims of disability bias 0.3 percent.
There were 22 victims of multiple-bias incidents in
2001. (Based on Table 1.)
An examination of data from single-bias
incidents showed that of the 5,545 victims of racial
bias, 66.7 percent were victims of anti-black bias,
19.2 percent of anti-white bias, 6.5 percent anti-
Asian or anti-Pacific Islander bias, 1.8 percent anti-
American Indian or anti-Alaskan Native bias, and
5.7 percent were victims of bias directed at groups
composed of individuals of different races. (Based
on Table 1.)
A breakdown of the 2,118 victims of hate
crimes motivated by religious bias showed that
the majority of victims were Jewish, 56.5 percent.
Anti-Islamic bias accounted for 26.2 percent of
victims of hate crimes motivated by religious bias,
anti-Catholic bias accounted for 1.9 percent, anti-
Protestant 1.7 percent, and anti-atheism or anti-
agnosticism 0.2 percent. Biases directed at members
of other religious groups and those directed at groups
made up of individuals from various religious faiths
accounted for 11.1 percent and 2.5 percent of the
victims, respectively. (Based on Table 1.)
Male homosexuals accounted for the majority
of the 1,664 victims of sexual-orientation bias, 69.
percent. Anti-female homosexual bias accounted for
15.4 percent, anti-homosexual bias 13.0 percent, anti-
heterosexual bias 1.3 percent, and anti-bisexual bias
1.0 percent. (Based on Table 1.)
Victims of anti-Hispanic bias accounted
for 30.8 percent of the total 2,634 victims of anti-
ethnicity or anti-national origin bias hate crimes.
The remaining 69.2 percent of victims were of other
ethnicities or national origins. (Based on Table 1.)
In 2001, within single-bias incidents, there
were 37 victims of disability bias. The majority
of those, 67.6 percent, were victims of anti-mental
disability bias, and 32.4 percent were victims of anti-
physical disability bias. (Based on Table 1.)
A review of the data concerning the types
of victims showed that of the 12,020 hate crime
victims, 7,768 victims or 64.6 percent were of crimes
against persons in 2001. Of the 7,768 victims of
crimes against persons, 55.9 percent were victims
of intimidation. (Based on Table 2.) Nearly 35
percent (34.7) of the 12,020 total were victims of
crimes against property. Within this category, 83.
percent were victims of destruction, damage, or
vandalism. (Based on Table 2.) Among the 3,
crimes against property offenses, 52.5 percent
were directed at individuals, and 10.4 percent were
directed at business or financial institutions. Property
hate crimes directed against religious organizations
accounted for 7.6 percent; against society or the
public, 6.2 percent; and at government, 5.9 percent.
The remainder were directed toward other, unknown,
or multiple victim types. (Based on Table 6.)
Additionally, agencies contributing NIBRS
data reported 76 hate crime offenses against society
in 2001. These offenses accounted for 0.6 percent of
the total victims. (Based on Table 2.)
Offenders
As defined by the Hate Crime Data Collection
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.
In the hate crime program, the offender’s suspected
race is the identifying attribute.
In 2001, law enforcement agencies reported
a total of 9,239 known offenders associated with
9,730 bias-motivated incidents. (See Table 1.) Of
these known offenders, 65.5 percent were white, 20.
percent were black, 0.9 percent were Asian/Pacific
Islander, and 0.6 percent were American Indian/
Alaskan Native. Groups of individuals representing
various races accounted for 4.4 percent of all known
offenders. The remaining 8.2 percent of offenders
were of unknown race. (See Table 9.)
The 11,451 reported hate crime offenses in
2001 were committed by 9,239 known offenders; 349
of these offenders were involved in more than one
offense. (Based on Table 2.) A review of the 7,
known offenders involved in hate crimes against
persons demonstrated that most (40.6 percent)
committed the offense of intimidation. There were
3,607 hate crime offenses committed against property
in 2001. Of the 1,851 known offenders for crimes
against property, 59.9 percent were involved in
destruction, damage, or vandalism. (See Table 2.)
Locations
Residences and homes were the scenes of
30.9 percent of the total 9,730 hate crime incidents
in 2001. Incidents perpetrated on highways, roads,
alleys, or streets accounted for 18.3 percent of hate
crime incidents, and 10.1 percent occurred at schools
or colleges. Other or unknown locations accounted
for 9.6 percent of incidents.
Of the 4,367 incidents motivated by racial
bias in 2001, 32.3 percent occurred at residences or
homes; 21.7 percent on highways, roads, alleys, or
streets; and 11.1 percent at schools or colleges. A
breakdown of the total incidents by bias motivation
showed that the majority of the 1,828 incidents
motivated by religious bias (28.8 percent) occurred
at residences or homes; 17.0 percent were committed
in religious settings such as churches, synagogues,
or temples; and 11.2 percent took place in schools or
colleges. The data indicated that of the 1,393 hate
crime incidents motivated by sexual-orientation bias,
33.4 percent of the incidents occurred at residences
or homes; 22.6 percent, on highways, roads, alleys,
or streets; and 11.7 percent, at schools or colleges.
Of the 2,098 hate crime incidents based on an
ethnicity/national-origin bias, 27.8 percent occurred
at residences or homes; 17.0 percent occurred on
highways, roads, alleys, or streets; and 7.7 percent
took place at parking lots or garages. In regard to
the 35 hate crime offenses motivated by a physical
or mental disability bias, 42.9 percent occurred at
residences or homes; 14.3 percent took place on
highways, roads, alleys, or streets; and 8.6 percent
happened at schools or colleges. (See Table 10.)
