Explanation to the total figures recorded
Police-recorded hate crime is registered as "right-wing extremism". As such, police figures include the crime of incitement to hatred, which largely falls outside of the OSCE's definition of hate crime. Prosecution and sentencing figures consist of incitement to hatred and "Neo-Nazi crimes".
