"Violent Hate Crimes Were Most Commonly Motivated by Bias Against Race, Ethnicity or National Origin [ [link removed] ]

WASHINGTON — The rate of violent hate crime in the United States in 2019 (1.0 hate crimes per 1,000 persons age 12 or older) was not significantly different from the rate in 2005 (0.8 per 1,000), the Bureau of Justice Statistics announced. This is based on data reported by victims in the National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS). During the 15-year period from 2005 to 2019, the rate of violent hate crime victimizations fluctuated, ranging from about 0.6 to 1.1 per 1,000.

On average, U.S. residents experienced approximately 246,900 hate crime victimizations each year between 2005 and 2019. The number of hate crimes ranged from about 173,600 to 305,390 during this period. The number of total, violent and property hate crime victimizations did not change significantly from 2005 to 2019.

From 2010 to 2019, the number of hate crimes recorded by law enforcement rose 10% (from 6,628 to 7,314 incidents), according to the FBI’s Uniform Crime Reporting Hate Crime Statistics Program (HCSP). By comparison, the total volume of law enforcement-recorded crimes — including both hate and nonhate incidents — decreased 22% during the 10-year period from 2010 to 2019.

Similar to the motivation for hate crimes reported in the NCVS, race, ethnicity or ancestry bias accounted for most (about 54%) hate crimes recorded by law enforcement from 2010 to 2019. During the 5‑year period of 2015-19, nearly half (49%) of these incidents were motivated by anti-black or anti-African American bias. During that same time period, law enforcement recorded increases in the number of hate crime victims of black or African-American (from 2,201 to 2,391 victims), Asian (from 136 to 215) and Arab descent (from 48 to 126).

*"
Recidivism of Prisoners Released in 24 States in 2008: A 10-Year Follow-Up Period (2008–2018) [ [link removed] ]"*

This report presents recidivism statistics on state prisoners released in 2008 during the 10 years following their release. It describes the recidivism patterns of state prisoners by their demographic characteristics, commitment offense, and prior criminal history. This is BJS’s first recidivism study with a 10-year follow-up period.

In July 2021, BJS released "Recidivism of Prisoners Released in 34 States in 2012: A 5-Year Follow-Up Period (2012-2017) [ [link removed] ]""," a report that presented recidivism statistics on prisoners released in 2012 with a 5-year follow-up period. Though they follow different release cohorts, both reports show similar trends, including a decline in the annual arrest percentage for state prisoners between year 1 and year 5 following release. The longer follow-up period of 10 years featured in the new report shows that the annual arrest percentage continued to decline between year 6 and year 10 following release.

Findings are based on prisoner records reported by state departments of corrections to BJS’s National Corrections Reporting Program [ [link removed] ] and criminal history data from the FBI’s Interstate Identification Index and state repositories.
