Explanation to the total figures recorded
Comprehensive crime statistics were reported to ODIHR. The statistics, however, cannot distinguish hate crimes from other crimes that do not have an underlying bias motivation. The numbers presented refer to the crime of "violence against a member of the community." Disaggregation by bias motivation is not available.

Organization Report
A list of bias indicators was created by the Hungarian authorities in co-operation civil society groups to help identify potential hate crimes. The list includes: the perception of the victim or witnesses; the perpetrators' remarks or gestures; perceived or actual group differences; the appearance and behaviour of the victim; previous and later actions of the perpetrator; the appearance of organized hate groups; location; date; the degree of violence; level of publicity; lack of other motivation.
ODIHR Recommendations
ODIHR observes that the law enforcement agencies of Hungary have not recorded the bias motivations of hate crimes.
