Hungary

Hungary regularly reports hate crime data to ODIHR. In 2012, the National Police Headquarters established a special hate crime network, which is responsible for supervising hate crime investigations. In the same year, a civil society working group against hate crimes was established with the aim of strengthening co-ordination with police and developing a list of bias indicators, which were adopted by the network and uploaded onto the police intranet. In 2018, the Ministry of Interior hosted a workshop on hate crime recording and data collection. The workshop was co-facilitated by ODIHR and the EU Agency for Fundamental Rights and resulted in a set of recommendations for relevant state authorities.

About 2017 Data

    The number presented here as recorded by the police represents aggregate number of hate crimes recorded by both police and Prosecutor's Office. The reported statistics were only broken down by type of crime and, in some cases, by target. The breakdown by bias motivation presented below is based on this information and does not amount to the authorities' monitoring of individual bias motivations in each registered hate offence.
