WHAT ARE HATE CRIMES?

A hate crime can be any crime motivated by prejudice toward the victim. A crime can be treated as a hate crime if it was substantially motivated by the offender’s animus toward the victim’s race, gender, religion, disability, sexual orientation, culture, ancestry, nationality, or country of origin. This is true even if the offender is mistaken about the victim actually being a member of the targeted group.
