Sheet 2: Hate Crime Definitions

DEFINITIONS FOR HATE CRIME DATA COLLECTION

To ensure uniformity in reporting nationwide hate crime statistics, the following definitions have been adopted for use in hate crime reporting:

Bias Crime: A committed criminal offense that is motivated, in whole or in part, by the offender's bias(es) against a race,

religion, disability, sexual orientation, ethnicity, gender, or gender identity; also known as Hate Crime.

Note: Even if the offender was mistaken in his or her perception that the victim was a member of the group he or she was

acting against, the offense is still a bias crime because the offender was motivated by bias against the group.

Bias: A preformed negative opinion or attitude toward a person or group of persons based on their race, religion, disability,

sexual orientation, ethnicity, gender, or gender identity.

Racial Bias: A preformed negative opinion or attitude toward a person or group of persons who possess common physical

characteristics, e.g., color of skin, eyes, and/or hair, facial features, etc., genetically transmitted by descent and heredity

which distinguish them as a distinct division of humankind, e.g., Asians, Blacks or African Americans, Whites.

American Indian or Alaska Native: A person having origins in any of the original peoples of North or South America

(including Central America), and who maintains tribal affiliation or community attachment.

Asian: A person having origins in any of the original peoples of the Far East, Southeast Asia, or the Indian subcontinent

including, for example Cambodia, China, India, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, Pakistan, the Philippine Islands, Thailand,

and Vietnam.

Black or African American: A person having origins in any of the black racial groups of Africa. Terms such as

"Haitian" or "Negro" can be used in addition to "Black or African American."

Multiple Races-Group: A group of persons having origins from multiple racial categories.

Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander: A person having origins in any of the original peoples of Hawaii, Guam,

Samoa, or other Pacific Islands.

White: A person having origins in any of the original peoples of Europe, the Middle East, or North Africa.

Ancestry Bias: A preformed negative opinion or attitude toward a group of people based on their common lineage or descent.

Arab: A person having origins, and/or ancestry, in any of the Arabic speaking peoples of Lebanon, Syria, Palestine,

Jordan, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Oman, United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait, Egypt, Libya, Tunisia,

Comoros, Algeria, Morocco, Sudan, Djibouti, Mauritania, and Samalia.

Ethnicity Bias: A preformed negative opinion or attitude toward a person or group of people whose members identify with

each other, through a common heritage, often consisting of a common language, common culture (often including a

shared religion) and/or ideology that stresses common ancestry. The concept of ethnicity differs from the closely

related term race in that "race" refers to grouping based mostly upon biological criteria, while "ethnicity" also

encompasses additional cultural factors.

Note: When the FBI's Hate Crime Statistics Program was initially implemented, ethnicity bias was reported as ethnicity/

national origin bias. It was then modified by the OMB's 1997 Revision to the Standards for the Classification

of Federal Data on Race and Ethnicity.

Hispanic or Latino: A person of Cuban, Mexican, Puerto Rican, South or Central American, or other Spanish culture

or origin, regardless of race. The term, "Spanish origin," can be used in addition to "Hispanic or Latino."

Not Hispanic or Latino: A person not of "Spanish origin."

Religious Bias: A preformed negative opinion or attitude toward a person or group of persons who share the same religious

beliefs regarding the origin and purpose of the universe and the existence or nonexistence of a supreme being, e.g.,

Catholics, Jews, Protestants, Atheists.
