About 2013 Data

    A year-to-year drop in the number of reported hate crimes is caused by improved separation of hate crimes from other criminal forms of intolerance. Police records also included: 56 crimes in which the “extremist” motive could not be confirmed, 70 cases with political motivation, and additional 9 crimes of discrimination and propaganda,. These cases are not included in the overall figure presented here. The crimes of discrimination and criminal propaganda may, however, be included in the breakdown below.

National developments

Hate crimes are an area of focus in the prosecution service’s 2012-2015 strategy. Training for prosecutors, lawyers and judges on the identification and prosecution of hate crimes is conducted annually by the Director of Prosecutions. As of 2014, training on hate crimes is being introduced as a mandatory part of the curriculum for police officers.

In September 2013, the government launched a national anti-discrimination unit that is currently carrying out a comprehensive mapping of hate crimes, their victims and perpetrators. A number of key indicators are being developed to measure the current situation. The mapping results are expected to be published at the end of 2014.
