Abstract
This press release summarizes information on the FBI’s Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program’s annual Hate Crime Statistics report of 2017: "The number of hate crime incidents reported to the FBI increased about 17 percent in 2017 compared with the previous year....Law enforcement reported 7,175 hate crimes to UCR in 2017, up from 6,121 in 2016. Although the numbers increased last year, so did the number of law enforcement agencies reporting hate crime data—with approximately 1,000 additional agencies contributing information." The full report includes the most common bias categories, the types of hate crimes reported, and bias motivations. The article also includes information on the collaboration efforts between the FBI and law enforcement agencies to improve bias crime identification and reporting. Further resources on the full report are also provided. (CVRL Abstract)
