    2 HATE CRIME IN CALIFORNIA, 2006

    INTRODUCTION

    In 1986, the California Department of Justice (DOJ) rstrecognized the importance of hate crime statistics inCalifornia in a report submitted to the legislature, in

    response to Senate Bill 2080 (Watson), which providedrecommendations for preliminary steps to establish a

    statewide hate crime database (Appendix 1). CaliforniaPenal Code section 13023 (Appendix 2) requires the

    Attorney General to submit an annual report to the Leg-islature regarding crimes motivated by the victims race,ethnicity, religion, gender, sexual orientation, national

    origin, or physical or mental disability as reported by lawenforcement agencies.

    The Attorney Generals Hate Crime Reporting Programwas implemented in September 1994. Data collectionbegan in the fall of 1994 after an orientation and trainingperiod was provided by the DOJ. Agencies were

    requested to identify and submit all reports of hate crimesoccurring on or after July 1 to December 31, 1994 to the

    DOJ. In 1995, California District Attorneys began to reporthate crime prosecutorial information to the DOJ, including

    total cases referred, hate crime case lings, criminal case

    lings, hate crime convictions and other convictions. In1995, the DOJ published its rst report.

    As dened in California Penal Code section 422.55,

    hate crimemeans a criminal act committed, in whole or

    in part, because of one or more of the following actualor 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 orgroup with one or more of these actual or perceived

    characteristics. Law enforcement agency crime reportsand a web-enabled data collection system are used to

    submit hate crime data to the DOJ. Each crime report

    includes information about, but is not limited to, biasmotivation, type of crime, location of crime, number ofvictims, and the number of known suspects.

    All police agencies and district attorney offices inCalifornia, in cooperation with the DOJ, have developed

    local data collection programs and submitted the hatecrime statistics for this 2006 edition of Hate Crime in

    California.

    Notes:Relating the number of hate crimes reported bylaw enforcement agencies to the number of hate crimesprosecuted by district attorneys and city attorneys is notpossible. First, crimes often occur in different reportingyears than their subsequent prosecutions. Second, thenumber of crimes reported by law enforcement is higherthan those warranting prosecutorial action.Cases may be rejected by County District Attorneysand City Attorneys ofces for prosecution for various

    reasons (e.g., insufcient evidence, witness not available,

    defendant not available, etc.).

    WHEN DOES A CRIME BECOMEA HATE CRIME?

    A crime becomes a hate crime when the criminal offenses

    committed against persons, property, or society are moti-vated, in whole or part, by the offenders bias against race,religion, disability, sexual-orientation, gender, ethnicity/na-

    tional origin, or association with a person or group withone or more of these actual or perceived characteristics.

    Hate crimes are not separate distinct crimes but rathertraditional offenses motivated by the offenders bias.

    This section of the 2006 Hate Crimereport will describe the details of these hate crime events, including information

    on bias motivation, type of crime, location of the crime, and type of victim (Data characteristics and known limitationsare provided in Appendix 3).

    To show the criminal justice systems response to hate

    crimes, in March 1995, the Attorney General requestedall district attorneys and city attorneys to submit summary

    data of complaints led and convictions secured. The2006 District Attorneys and City Attorneys Report Fileof Hate Crime Cases contains summary data based on

    cases referred to each district attorney or city attorney, andlings and convictions which occurred between January

    1 through December 31, 2006.

    There are many factors that must take place for a caseto be forwarded for possible prosecution in Californias

    criminal justice system. In our continuing effort to bringclarity to the nature and value of prosecutorial data,this brief overview is provided.

    At the request of district attorneys, collection procedures

    were modied to ensure the collection of all juvenile,

    as well as all adult, case data. The overview below

    contains all juvenile and adult prosecution data submittedfor 2006.

    In addition, the reader is advised that relating thenumber of hate crimes reported by law enforcement

    agencies to the number of hate crimes prosecuted bydistrict attorneys and city attorneys is not possible. First,

    crimes often occur in different reporting years than theirsubsequent prosecutions. Second, the number of crimes

    reported by law enforcement is much higher than thosewarranting prosecutorial action.

    decrease in 2002 and a 10.1 percent decrease in2003. Hate crime events in 2001 increased 15.5

    percent from their level in 2000 in response to thewave of post-9/11 hate crimes targeting individuals

    or their property who were, or perceived to be, MiddleEastern or Muslims. From 1997 to 1999, hate crime

    these types of hate crime offenses increased 0.7 per-cent, after decreasing 3.0 percent in 2005. A downwardtrend began in 2002 with a 16.8 percent decrease and

    continued with a 9.6 percent decrease in 2003. Hatecrime offenses based on a victims race/ethnicity/national

    origin have been the largest bias motivation category,totaling 60 percent or greater since the beginning of hate

    crime reporting in California. Hate crime offenses basedon a victims race/ethnicity/national origin increased

    20.8 percent in 2001 due in large part to post-9/11hate crime activity.

    sExUAL oRiENtAtioN In 2006, these types ofhate crime offenses increased 3.6 percent. Hate crime

    offenses based on a victims sexual orientation havebeen the second largest bias motivation category since

    the inception of hate crime reporting in California. From1997 to 2006, hate crime offenses targeting a victimssexual orientation have been at least 18 percent of

    the reported total. These types of hate crime offenses

    decreased 7.4 percent in 2000, then increased in thetwo-year period 2001-2002 (by 1.9 percent and 5.9percent, respectively).

    RELiGioN In 2006, these types of hate crime offenses

    increased 0.4 percent after decreasing 9.6 percent in2005. Hate crime offenses based on a victims religion

    have consistently been the third largest bias motivationcategory since hate crime reporting began in California.

    From 2000 to 2003, this type of hate crime steadily de-creased: 9.7 percent in 2000; 3.3 percent in 2001; 8.8percent in 2002; and 10.0 percent in 2003.

    totaled less than 2 percent of the hate crimes reported,and thus were not included in the above graph.

    Note: From 1995 to 2001, a hierarchy rule was used toidentify the most serious crime type. For these years, the

    total number of offenses in a multiple offense hate crimeevent would still be recorded, but the crime type would be

    given as the most serious crime type. For example, a hate

    crime event that had two offenses a simple assault, and

    an aggravated assault would be counted as two offenseswith the most serious offense as aggravated assault.

    Starting in 2002, the Department of Justice began counting

    each offense in each hate crime event, whether it hadone offense (a majority of the events) or multiple offenses

    (a minority of the events). This was undertaken to moreaccurately count each type of criminal offense (e.g.,

    intimidation, simple assault, vandalism, etc.). Using thisnew standard of count, comparisons and trend analysis

    should be limited to 2002 and forward. (See Appendix 3,

    Note: From 1995 to 2001, a hierarchy rule was used to

    identify the most serious crime type. For these years, the

    total number of offenses in a multiple offense hate crimeevent would still be recorded, but the crime type would be

    given as the most serious crime type. For example, a hatecrime event that had two offenses a simple assault, and

    an aggravated assault would be counted as two offenseswith the most serious offense as aggravated assault.

    Starting in 2002, the Department of Justice began count-ingeachoffense ineachhate crime event, whether it had

    one offense (a majority of the events) or multiple offenses(a minority of the events). This was undertaken to more

    accurately count each type of criminal offense (e.g., intimi-

    dation, simple assault, vandalism, etc.). Using this newstandard of count, comparisons and trend analysis should

    be limited to 2002 and forward. (See Appendix 3, DataCharacteristics and Known Limitations, on page 52 for

    a further explanation of the hierarchy rule.)
