NEW YORK — Hate crimes in the United States remained at the same level in 2021 as they were in 2020, the FBI said Monday, even as hate crimes based on a person's sexual orientation increased.
However, the FBI also said there was a nearly 30% drop in police agencies that reported data in 2021, because of the new way the data was reported to the FBI, making it difficult to meaningfully compare 2021 statistics to years past, an FBI official said on a conference call with reporters.
The FBI said 64.8% of victims were targeted because of their offenders' bias against race and ethnicity, 15.6% were targeted because of the offenders' bias toward their sexual orientation and 13.3% were targeted because of their religion.
