In 2022, the Danish Criminal Code was amended and now includes gender identity, sex characteristics and gender expression as protected characteristics. The amended Criminal Code also allows for the aggravating provision to be applied to offences involving mixed motives.

In January 2022, Denmark adopted a national Action Plan against anti-Semitism. The action plan applies the IHRA working definition of antisemitism. The plan was drawn up in consultation with Jewish communities, and covers the following areas: combating anti-Semitic hate speech, hate crime and discrimination; anti-Semitism online; the security and protection of Jewish communities; fostering Jewish life and maintaining Jewish heritage; education; research; and Holocaust remembrance.

Also in 2022, the Danish government launched a LGBT+ Action Plan for 2022-2025. The action plan covers a range of areas, but specifically addresses violence, sexual violence and hate against LGBT+ persons.

In 2022, the Danish National Police established a new digital police unit (the "Online Police Patrol") to strengthen its online presence. The digital unit patrols social media through by maintaining a visible police presence in open groups. In this way, the police are able to combat different forms of internet-related crimes more effectively, including those with a bias motivation. Additionally, it is possible for citizens to submit a crime report to the online patrol via email or Meta's Messenger app.

The Danish National Police published an information leaflet ("Advice and Guidance to persons who work with victims of hate crimes"). The leaflet was written in co-operation with the Danish Prosecution Service and with the contribution of the following groups and organizations: the Muslim Council, the Jewish community in Denmark, LGBT+ Denmark and the Disabled People's Organization Denmark. The leaflet is aimed at organizations who advise and help victims of hate crimes. Among other things, the leaflet provides information about the legal process – such as  the role of the police and prosecution services – as well as information on the different ways to report a hate crime to the police.
