Appendix 1Data Characteristics and Known Limitations

Crime Data

Local law enorcement agencies are required to submit monthly copies o hate crime reports to the

Department o Justice (DOJ) in compliance with Caliornia Penal Code section 13023. Caliornia Penal

Code section 422.55 defnes a hate crime as a criminal act committed, in whole or in part, because o

one or more o the ollowing actual or perceived characteristics o the victim: (1) disability, (2) gender,

(3) nationality, (4) race or ethnicity, (5) religion, (6) sexual orientation, (7) association with a person or

group with one or more o these actual or perceived characteristics.

The ollowing inormation and limitations should be considered when using hate crime data:

1) A hate crime event contains the occurrence o one or more criminal oenses, committed against

one or more victims, by one or more suspects or perpetrators. Victims can have more than one

oense committed against them.

2) Hate crimes reported by law enorcement agencies are counted in a specifc way. In each hate

crime event, the DOJ counts the total number o victims, the total number o suspects, and the

total number o criminal oenses in one event. These totals are then classifed and counted by

type o bias motivation (anti-black, anti-Hispanic, anti-Jewish, anti-gay, etc.), type o crime (murder,

aggravated assault, burglary, destruction/vandalism, etc.), the location where the crime took place

(residence, street, synagogue, school, etc.), and the type o victim (individual or property).

3) The hate crime reporting system was implemented by the DOJ in 1994. Law enorcement

agencies submit copies o initial crime reports to the DOJ. Crime reports that were submitted as

hate crimes, but later determined to be unounded, were not included.

4) The DOJ requested that each law enorcement agency establish procedures incorporating a two-

tier review (decision-making) process. The frst level is done by the initial ocer who responds

to the suspected hate crime incident. At the second level, each report is reviewed by at least one

other ocer to confrm that the event was, in act, a hate crime.

5) Caution should be used when making jurisdictional comparisons. The ollowing actors should

be considered: cultural diversity and population density; size o law enorcement agencies; and

the training received in the identifcation o hate crimes by law enorcement ocers in each

jurisdiction.

6) The ollowing actors may inuence the volume o hate crimes reported to the DOJ:z Cultural practices o individuals and their likeliness to report hate crimes to law

enorcement agencies.

z Strength and investigative emphasis o law enorcement agencies.

z Policies o law enorcement agencies.

z Community policing policies.

7/31/2019 Hate Crime 2011

26/29

7) From 1995 to 2001, a hierarchy rule was used to count the various types o hate crimes (murder,

intimidation, vandalism, etc.). This method counted the most serious oense in a hate crime event and

counted all additional oenses in multiple-oense events under the most serious crime count. For

example, a crime event that had two oenses a simple assault and an aggravated assault would be

counted as two aggravated assaults. Trend analysis or these years can be perormed since the unit o

count is consistent.

In 2002, the DOJ began counting each oense in each hate crime event, whether they had one oense

(a majority o events) or multiple oenses (a minority o events). This change was implemented to more

accurately count each type o criminal oense. Using this new counting standard, comparisons and trend

analysis should be limited to 2002 and orward.

In 2009, the DOJ began collecting inormation on hate crimes involving multiple-bias motivations. Law

enorcement agencies were able to report up to fve bias motivations or each hate-related event, as long

as there was a unique oense or each bias motivation.

8) A signifcant reason or the disparity between individual victims and victims that are an entity is due to

the DOJs Criminal Justice Statistics Centers use o the Federal Bureau o Investigation Uniorm CrimeReporting program standards. A property crime against an entity (a business, religious organization,

government institution, etc.) can only be counted as one victim, whereas a crime committed against an

individual can have more than one victim per crime event.

County District Attorney and City Attorney

Prosecutorial Data

The ollowing inormation and limitations should be considered when interpreting hate crime cases:

1) In order to show the criminal justice systems response to hate crimes, in 1995 the Attorney Generalasked all district attorneys and city attorneys to submit summary data o complaints fled and convictions

secured.

2) The 2011 District Attorneys and City Attorneys Report File o Hate Crime Cases contains summary data based

on cases reerred to each district attorney or city attorney, and flings and convictions that occurred rom

January 1, 2011, through December 31, 2011.

3) When viewing prosecutorial data, it is not possible to relate the number o hate crimes reported by law

enorcement agencies to the number o hate crimes prosecuted by district attorneys and city attorneys.

First, crimes oten occur in dierent reporting years than their subsequent prosecutions. Second, the

number o crimes reported by law enorcement is much higher than those calling or prosecutorial action

since the latter requires an arrested deendant who can be prosecuted in a court o law.

4) All prosecutorial data includes hate crimes committed by both juvenile and adult deendants.
