*2021 was the first year that the annual hate crimes statistics were reported entirely through the National Incident-Based Reporting System (NIBRS). As a result of the shift to NIBRS-only data collection, law enforcement agency participation in submitting all crime statistics, including hate crimes, fell significantly from 2020 to 2021.
Case Examples
A North Carolina man has been convicted of federal hate crimes for his racially motivated attacks on a Black man and his Hispanic neighbor.
According to evidence, in November 2021, the defendant attacked his Hispanic neighbor, yelling slurs before punching and tackling him. And in October of 2022, the defendant encountered a Black driver, swerved into his lane, got out of his vehicle, and began to punch the driver’s car and yell racial slurs at him. The defendant followed the driver home, where he continued yelling racial slurs and threatening to kill the driver. At trial, the defendant was shown to have a track record of engaging in racist behavior.
