Hate crime data

With the Hate Crime Data Statistics Act of 1990, the FBI began collecting data on these types of
crimes. The first statistics were supplied by nearly 3,000 law enforcement agencies in 32
states.
In 1991, agencies reported a total of 4,755 offenses. Of the offenses measured, intimidation
was the most frequently reported hate crime, accounting for 1 every 3 offenses. The other
offenses included destruction, damage, vandalism of property, which accounted for 27 percent
of crimes, simple assault, 17 percent; aggravated assault, 16 percent; and robbery, 3 percent.
In addition, murder, forcible rape, burglary, larceny-theft, motor vehicle theft, and arson each
made up 1 percent or less of the total.
Racial bias motivated 6 of every 10 offenses reported: religious bias 2 of 10 offenses reported,
and ethnic and sexual orientation bias each, 1 to 10 offenses reported. Among specific bias
types, antiblack offenses accounted for the highest percentage, 36 percent of the total,
followed by antiwhite and anti-Jewish motivations, 19 and 17 percentage, respectively.
In 43 percent of the hate crime reported, information of the offenders was unknown.
However, when the race of the suspected offender, 65 percent of the incidents were
committed by whites, 30 percent by blacks, and 2 percent by persons of the other races. The
rest of the incidents were committed by groups of offenders not all of the same race.
