Germany

Germany regularly reports hate crime data to ODIHR. Germany's criminal code contains a sentencing provision applicable to any crime in the code. Hate crime data are collected as part of its framework to address politically-motivated crimes. Data on hate crime and hate speech are collected together. However, authorities are able to disaggregate data on violent offences. The authorities responsible for data collection include the police at the state and federal levels and the Federal Statistics Office.

How hate crime data is collected in Germany

How hate crime data is collected in Germany

In Germany, the police collect nationwide data on politically motivated crime, including hate crimes. Data collection is based on a code of practice, guidelines and instructions. These were co-ordinated and agreed between the German Federal Government and the governments of the German Länder in working groups that are part of the standing conference of the Ministers of the Interior.

Hate crimes are defined as follows for reporting purposes: "Hate crime comprises politically motivated crimes, when – in recognition of the circumstances of the offence and/or the attitude of the offender – there are indications that the offence has been directed against a person because of his/her nationality, ethnicity, "race", skin colour, religion, origin, appearance, disability, sexual orientation or social status." The act has to be committed in a cause-effect relationship with one of these motives, and be directed against an institution or an object.

When a victim reports a hate crime, or if police officers identify a hate crime, the local police will fill out a form. Among other things, the form collects the following information: administrative data (e.g., department and file number), a brief description of the facts, the time of the crime, the crime scene, the target, information on the suspect, information on the victim (especially on the victim's characteristics), the infringed law, the quality of the crime, the phenomena and whether it is an extremist crime. In addition, the act is assigned to one of 11 "subtopics": anti-Semitism, "antiziganism", disability, xenophobia, social status, racism, religion, sexual orientation, anti-Christian, anti-Islamic and other ethnicity.

The report is then sent by the local police to the Criminal Police Offices of the German Länder (Landeskriminalämter). The specialists of the Criminal Police Offices of the German Länder check the information and clarify any possible open questions with the responsible local police stations. After this initial quality control process, the information is passed on to the German Federal Criminal Police Office (BKA). The BKA evaluates and analyses the nationwide data and returns the results of the analysis to the German Länder.

The statistics on reported cases are based on the findings of the investigating police officers and the information obtained by them about the motivation of the offender. Up to one month before the end of the year, the reported figures can be corrected and changes resulting from findings by the prosecution services or the courts factored in. This may be the case, for example, if it transpires that a bias motivation cannot be proved or that an alleged offender cannot be held accountable for a crime. The main purpose of this data collection activity is to help the state make strategic, evidence-based decisions on how to prevent hate crimes.

In January 2018, the first Länder Judicial Administration began collecting statistical data on hate crimes. On 1 January 2019, the data collection was implemented nationwide. The Länder transmits data to the Federal Office of Justice, which aggregates the figures for the whole of Germany. For statistical purposes, criminal offences will be classified as hate crime if, upon assessing the circumstances of the offence and/or the attitude taken by the perpetrator, there are indications that they are directed against a person on the basis of that person's actual or assumed nationality, ethnic origins, skin colour, religion, beliefs, physical and/or psychological disability or impairment, sexual orientation and/or sexual identity, political position, political views and/or political involvement, appearance or status in society.
In 2017, the Federal Criminal Police Office published a report on the 2012-2017 German Victimization Survey which addressed hate crimes. Furthermore, the Criminal Police Offices of the federal states of Lower Saxony and Schleswig-Holstein, respectively, conducted two victimisation surveys with a focus on hate crimes at a regional level.

National developments

In 2020, the German Federal Parliament passed the Act on Combating Right-Wing Extremism and Hate Crime to give better protection to victims of hate speech and hate crimes. Most of its parts came into effect in April 2021. The Act includes amendments to various federal laws.  In particular, it extended the sentencing provision on aggravating circumstances of the German Criminal Code [Section 46 (2)StGB] and explicitly mentions anti-Semitic motives as an example of motives evidencing contempt for humanity.

The Federal Ministry of Justice funded a project of the German Institute for Human Rights (DIMR), which intended to improve the prosecution of racist crimes and, in particular, structures of cooperation between various actors (justice system, public prosecutor's office, police, victim protection associations, etc.). It consists of pilot projects in three Länder and is intended to last three years.

INTERNATIONAL REPORTS

No information is available.

KEY OBSERVATION

ODIHR recognizes Germany's efforts in addressing the prosecution of hate crimes, namely through improving the cooperation between the relevant stakeholders, as well as the submitted information regarding police records. However, based on the available information, it observes that Germany has not reported data on hate crimes recorded by the prosecution and judiciary to ODIHR. In addition, ODIHR observes that Germany would benefit from the raising awareness and building the capacity of criminal justice officials about hate crimes.

ODIHR recalls that in the Ministerial Council Decision 9/09, participating States have committed to collecting reliable data and statistics in sufficient detail on hate crimes and to reporting such crimes periodically to ODIHR. In the Ministerial Council Decision 9/09, participating States have also committed to introducing or further developing professional training and capacity-building activities for law-enforcement, prosecution, and judicial officials dealing with hate crimes. ODIHR stands ready to support Germany in meeting its relevant commitments through the provision of comprehensive resources and tailored assistance in the area of hate crime recording and data collection, as well as through providing further resources and tailored capacity building assistance for police, prosecution, and judiciary.
