How hate crime data is collected
The National Police in Liechtenstein reports all criminal offences (including hate crime) to the public prosecutor's office. The public prosecutor's office verifies whether there is a criminal offence. They charge the Princely Court and/or the National Police with further investigations. The National Police's general statistics are published every year. These include hate crimes.
