Hate crimes target victims because of their actual or perceived status. Perpetrators of hate crimes hold animosity toward a particular person or group because of their real or perceived race, religion, ethnicity, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation or disability. Examples of hate crimes exist throughout history and it continues to be a global phenomenon. The FBI began collecting data on hate crimes in the United States in 1991; in 2023 alone, the Bureau documented 11,862 hate crimes. Hate crimes have a particular psychological and emotional impact on victims because such crimes target every aspect of who they are. In this session, Mr. Burton will discuss an actual hate crime case worked by the FBI, during which you will also hear from the person who was targeted in the case.
