France
France regularly reports hate crime data to ODIHR. Since 2012, DILCRAH has served as an inter-ministerial body and platform for co-operation to address hate crime, including through research and financial support to civil society organizations (CSOs). DILCRAH, along with a number of CSOs, is also involved in the training of judges and prosecutors, as well as police officers and gendarmes. The Central Office for Combating Crimes against Humanity and Hate Crimes (OCLCH) is an inter-agency body composed of police officers and gendarmes that is responsible for leading and coordinating the fight against crimes against humanity and hate crimes, assisting and supporting local units in this area, acting as the national contact point for both units and external entities, investigating, providing expertise and preparing threat assessments in its area of responsibility.
Hate crime data are regularly published by the Ministry of Interior. France conducts regular surveys on hate crime victimization to measure unreported hate crimes.

About 2018 Data
-
The police figure reported to ODIHR included a further 3,518 cases of incitement of hatred or violence, and defamation or public insult, which for the most part fall outside of the OSCE's definition of hate crime and are therefore not listed here.
The records on convicted cases were reported to ODIHR after the publication of data for 2018. Of the 252 convictions, 66 may include instances of hate speech and, therefore, also fall outside of the OSCE's definition of hate crime.
Hate crime recorded by police
The police provide data broken down by racism and xenophobia (which also includes anti-religious hate crime) and bias on grounds of sex/gender (also including hate crimes committed with bias based on sexual orientation and gender identity).
The anti-Semitic, anti-Christian and anti-Muslim hate crimes presented below have been disaggregated separately by the Ministry of the Interior in collaboration with civil society organizations monitoring these hate crimes. These are included below two categories mentioned above and separately.
KEY OBSERVATION
ODIHR observes that France has not reported to ODIHR the numbers of prosecuted hate crime cases.
