Using Bias Indicators: A Practical Tool for Police

This publication presents a comprehensive, but not exhaustive, list of indicators that suggest a crime may have been bias-motivated. The eight sections in this document correspond with the main types of bias indicators developed and recommended for use by the OSCE Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights (ODIHR). Each of the sections includes a set of questions to guide investigators in deciding whether a particular bias indicator type is present in the case before them.

This publication can be used as a standalone resource or in conjunction with Categorizing and Investigating Hate Crimes in Ukraine: A Practical Guide.
