About 2016 Data
-
Comprehensive crime statistics were reported to ODIHR. The statistics, however, cannot distinguish hate crimes from other crimes that do not have an underlying bias motivation. The numbers presented refer to the crime of "violence against a member of the community." Disaggregation by bias motivation is not available.
