A Discussion of Hate Crime Data and Implications for Research, Practice, and Policy

Thu, Nov 17, 5:00 to 6:20pm, M103, Marquis Level

Session Submission Type: Complete Thematic Panel

Abstract/Description

Hate crime is an issue of enduring significance. This session will address different aspects of the U.S. Department of Justice’s efforts to provide and improve knowledge on the nature of hate crimes, including those recorded by law enforcement, reported by victims, and addressed by the court system. It will highlight hate crime measurement approaches, challenges, and opportunities in the National Crime Victimization Survey, the Federal Justice Statistics Program, and the FBI’s Uniform Crime Reporting Program’s Hate Crime Statistics Program. This session will also feature recent hate crime findings across these areas, including victim, incident, and offender characteristics, offense and bias motivation types, and hate crime prosecutions. In addition, data from the Bias Incidents and Actors Study will shed light on situational, victim, and offender characteristics that differentiate hate crime perpetrators based on the intended outcomes of their crimes.
