A hate crime must involve a “crime” and it is often a violent crime, such as assault, murder, arson, vandalism, or threats to commit such crimes. It may also cover conspiring or asking another person to commit such crimes, even if the crime was never carried out. If you've experienced an act of violence, intimidation, or hostility because of who you are, you may have been the victim of a hate crime. A hate crime can take the form of verbal abuse, intimidation, threats, harassment, assault, criminal damage to your property, arson, manslaughter, or murder, and can impact individuals, families, and communities.

A hate/bias incident are acts of prejudice that are not crimes and do not involve violence, threats, or property damage. The term “hate incident” is used to describe actions or behaviors motivated by hate. Examples of hate incidents include: name-calling, insults, racial slurs, distributing hate materials in public places, and displaying hate materials on one’s own property. We need information about these incidents as well.
