Соединенные Штаты Америки

Соединенные Штаты регулярно предоставляют БДИПЧ данные о преступлениях на почве ненависти. Данные о преступлениях на почве ненависти публикуются ежегодно.

После проведения в 2021 году Федеральным бюро расследований (ФБР) обзора преступления на почве ненависти были включены в категорию приоритетов высшего уровня (Band 1 National Threat Priority), что привело к увеличению ресурсов, выделяемых на борьбу с преступлениями на почве ненависти. Сотрудничая с национальной Коалицией по борьбе с преступлениями на почве ненависти, ФБР проводит тесные консультации с организациями гражданского общества (ОГО), в том числе для разработки и обновления Руководства и обучения ФБР по сбору данных о преступлениях на почве ненависти.

В 2020 году Министерство юстиции выпустило всеобъемлющий "Отчет круглого стола представителей правоохранительных органов о преступлениях на почве ненависти", в котором изложены основные рекомендации и меры по борьбе с преступлениями на почве ненависти.
