Hate Crime: Reference & Statistics

The source of most hate crimes statistics is the FBI's Uniform Crime Report. The FBI's report is 120 pages, and contains some important methodological issues related to counting and reporting hate crimes. The Bureau of Justice Statistics has a Summary of 1997-99.

There's a helpful short summary of 1999 data available from the Human Rights Campaign. See also the Dept of Justice Report, Improving the Quality and Accuracy of Bias Crime Statistics Nationally: An Assessment of the First Ten Years of Bias Crime Data Collection.
