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 several CSOs, is involved in training judges, prosecutors, police officers, and gendarmes.
The Central Office for Combating Crimes against Humanity and Hate Crimes (OCLCH) is an inter-agency body made up of police officers and gendarmes. It is responsible for leading and co-ordinating the fight against crimes against humanity and hate crimes. OCLCH supports local units, serves as the national contact point for both units and external entities, conducts investigations, provides expertise, and prepares threat assessments within its area of responsibility.
Hate crime data are regularly published by the National Institute for Human Rights. France regularly conducts surveys on hate crime victimization to monitor unreported hate crimes.

About 2019 Data
-
The police figures reported to ODIHR included a further 3,409 cases of incitement to hatred or violence, and defamation or public insult. These offences for the most part fall outside of the OSCE's definition of hate crime and are therefore not listed here.
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-Christian, anti-Semitic and anti-Muslim hate crimes presented below have been disaggregated separately by the Ministry of the Interior. Furthermore, anti-Semitic and anti-Muslim hate crimes have been consulted with civil society organizations that monitor such crimes.
KEY OBSERVATION
ODIHR observes that France has not reported to ODIHR the numbers of prosecuted hate crime cases.
