Hate Crime Factsheets

ODIHR’s Hate Crime Factsheets provide concise, practical guidance on identifying and understanding different forms of hate crime. 

Covering anti-Semitic, anti-Muslim, anti-Christian, anti-Roma, anti-Indigenous, disability-related, gender-based, racist and xenophobic hate crimes, the factsheets explain how bias can influence criminal acts and the impact these crimes have on victims and communities.

Designed for policymakers, criminal justice practitioners, civil society organizations and anyone seeking to better understand hate crime, the factsheets highlight key characteristics, common manifestations and challenges associated with different bias motivations. 

Together, they support efforts to recognize hate crimes, improve responses to victims and build more inclusive and secure societies.
