About 2017 Data

    The authorities monitored and reported on 153 "offences with extremist context" - a category that also includes other criminal forms of intolerance. The numbers presented here only represent hate crimes according to the OSCE definition. The reported number of prosecuted hate crimes represents the number of people charged. The sentencing figure represents the number of convicts, some of whom may have committed more than one hate crime.

Hate crime recorded by police

National developments

The police analysed the functioning of an internet hotline to report hate crimes and proposed changes to be implemented in 2018.

The government-run and Norwegian funded Campaign Against Racism and Hate Violence has produced several methodological guidance documents for police on identification of and response to hate crimes and dealing with victims of hate crimes. Furthermore, the campaign has trained 257 police officers, spokespersons and municipal police officers on hate crimes by the civil society group In IUSTITIA.

KEY OBSERVATION

ODIHR observes that the Czech Republic has not reported on cases of hate crimes separately from cases of hate speech and/or discrimination.
