Hate Crimes Definition
• A hate crime is a traditional offense like murder, arson, or vandalism with an added element of bias.
For the purposes of collecting statistics, the FBI has defined a hate crime as a “criminal offense
against a person or property motivated in whole or in part by an offender’s bias against a race,
religion, disability, sexual orientation, ethnicity, gender, or gender identity.” Hate itself is not a crime
—and the FBI is mindful of protecting freedom of speech and other civil liberties.
