Appendix 1: Data Characteristics and Known Limitations

Crime Data
Local law enforcement agencies are required to submit monthly copies of hate crime
reports to the Department of Justice (DOJ) in compliance with California Penal Code
section 13023. California Penal Code section 422.55 defines a hate crime as a
criminal act committed, in whole or in part, because of one or more of the following
actual or perceived characteristics of 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 of these actual or perceived characteristics.
The following information and limitations should be considered when using hate
crime data:
1) A hate crime event contains the occurrence of one or more criminal offenses,
committed against one or more victims, by one or more suspects or perpetrators.
Victims can have more than one offense committed against them.
2) Hate crimes reported by law enforcement agencies are counted in a specific way.
In each hate crime event, the DOJ counts the total number of victims, the total
number of suspects, and the total number of criminal offenses in one event. These
totals are then classified and counted by type of bias motivation (anti-black, antiHispanic, anti-Jewish, anti-gay, etc.), type of crime (murder, aggravated assault,
burglary, destruction/vandalism, etc.), the location where the crime took place
(residence, street, synagogue, school, etc.), and the type of victim (individual or
property).
3) The hate crime reporting system was implemented by the DOJ in 1994. Law
enforcement agencies submit copies of initial crime reports to the DOJ. Crime
reports that were submitted as hate crimes, but later determined to be unfounded,
were not included.
4) The DOJ requested that each law enforcement agency establish procedures
incorporating a two-tier review (decision-making) process. The first level is done
by the initial officer who responds to the suspected hate crime incident. At the
second level, each report is reviewed by at least one other officer to confirm that
the event was, in fact, a hate crime.
5) Caution should be used when making jurisdictional comparisons. The following
factors should be considered: cultural diversity and population density; size of
law enforcement agencies; and the training received in the identification of hate
crimes by law enforcement officers in each jurisdiction.
27
6) The following factors may influence the volume of hate crimes reported to the
DOJ:
Cultural practices of individuals and their likeliness to report hate crimes to
law enforcement agencies.
Strength and investigative emphasis of law enforcement agencies.
Policies of law enforcement agencies.
Community policing policies.
7) From 1995 to 2001, a hierarchy rule was used to count the various types of hate
crimes (murder, intimidation, vandalism, etc.). This method counted the most
serious offense in a hate crime event and counted all additional offenses in
multiple-offense events under the most serious crime count. For example, a crime
event that had two offenses a simple assault and an aggravated assault
would be counted as two aggravated assaults. Trend analysis for these years can
be performed since the unit of count is consistent.
In 2002, the DOJ began counting each offense in each hate crime event, whether
they had one offense (a majority of events) or multiple offenses (a minority of
events). This change was implemented to more accurately count each type of
criminal offense. Using this new counting standard, comparisons and trend
analysis should be limited to 2002 and forward.
In 2009, the DOJ began collecting information on hate crimes involving multiplebias motivations. Law enforcement agencies were able to report up to five bias
motivations for each hate-related event, as long as there was a unique offense for
each bias motivation.
In 2011, the DOJ expanded the acceptable location codes for the California hate
crime data collection system to reflect modifications implemented at the national
level.
8) A significant reason for the disparity between individual victims and victims that
are an entity is due to the DOJs Criminal Justice Statistics Centers use of the
Federal Bureau of Investigation Uniform Crime Reporting 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.
28
County District Attorney and Elected City Attorney Prosecutorial Data

The following information 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 General asked all district attorneys and elected city attorneys to submit
summary data of complaints filed and convictions secured.
2) The 2012 District Attorneys and Elected City Attorneys Report File of Hate
Crime Cases contains summary data based on cases referred to each district
attorney or elected city attorney, and filings and convictions that occurred from
January 1, 2012, through December 31, 2012.
3) When viewing prosecutorial data, it is not possible to relate the number of hate
crimes reported by law enforcement agencies to the number of hate crimes
prosecuted by district attorneys and elected city attorneys. First, crimes often
occur in different reporting years than their subsequent prosecutions. Second, the
number of crimes reported by law enforcement is much higher than those calling
for prosecutorial action since the latter requires an arrested defendant who can be
prosecuted in a court of law.
4) All prosecutorial data includes hate crimes committed by both juvenile and adult
defendants.

Appendix 2: Criminal Justice Glossary

Aggravated Assault An unlawful attack by one person upon another for the purposes
of inflicting severe or aggravated bodily injury. This type of assault usually is
accompanied by the use of a weapon or by means likely to produce death or great bodily

case.
Ethnic Bias A preformed negative opinion or attitude toward a group of persons of the
same race or national origin who share common or similar traits in language, custom, and
tradition.
Event An occurrence when a hate crime is involved. (In this report, the information
about the event is a crime report or source document that meets the criteria for a hate
crime.) There may be one or more suspects involved, one or more victims targeted, and
one or more offenses involved for each event.

criminal act to cause physical injury, emotional suffering, or property damage. The
known suspect category contains the number of suspects that have been identified and/or
alleged to have committed hate crimes as stated in the crime report. For example,
witnesses observe three suspects fleeing the scene of a crime. The word known does
not necessarily refer to specific identities.
Lesbian Of or relating to females who experience sexual attraction toward and
responsiveness to other females; (noun) a homosexual female.
Location The place where the hate crime event occurred. The location categories
follow UCR location specifications developed by the FBI. Examples are residence, hotel,

Relationship Between Complaints Filed and Convictions The annual

complaints filed and convictions since a case may be filed in one year and the
outcome (trial or pleading) may occur in another.
31

based on religious beliefs regarding the origin and purpose of the universe and the
existence or nonexistence of a supreme being. Examples are Catholics, Jews, Protestants,

Victim An individual, a business or financial institution, a religious organization,

against property in the FBI Hate Crimes Statistics Report.)
Acknowledgments
The annual Hate Crime in California report is mandated by California Penal section

district attorneys and elected city attorneys offices that provided complete and
timely data. This report would not have been possible without their cooperation.
An electronic version of this report and other reports are available on the California
Attorney Generals website at http://oag.ca.gov/.
