Less than two-thirds of law enforcement agencies reported data on hate crimes to the FBI for 2021.
, less than two-thirds of law enforcement agencies reported data on hate crimes to the FBI, last year, marking a significant drop-off.
"The prevalence of hate crimes has increased," said Brian Griffith, FBI deputy assistant director in an interview."It continues to be a concern throughout the country. Race, ethnicity and ancestry continue to be the largest targeted categories." Griffith added that the largest subset of those – nearly half—is anti-Black hate, followed by 21% anti-White bias and 10% anti-Latino bias.
Incidents of hate crimes are not decreasing, according to the FBI. But until participation in the FBI's new data collection programs increases, the bureau will not be able to make a meaningful comparison of the number of hate crimes with years past. Federal law enforcement officials and experts alike concede hate-crime data has long gone underreported, with victim groups often reluctant to report incidents of targeted violence and local law enforcement sometimes reticent to self-report statistics."
"We recognize that sometimes community groups don't want to report these incidents. They often go under-reported," FBI Public Corruption and Civil Rights Section Chief Joe Rothrock told CBS News. "Hate crimes tear at the fabric of our society and traumatize entire communities," said Jonathan Greenblatt, ADL CEO."The failure by major states and cities across the country to report hate crime data essentially – and inexcusably – erases the lived experience of marginalized communities across the country."
