Excerpt
Introduction: Background. With the passage of the Hate Crime Statistics Act of 1990, Congress mandated the collection of information about crimes motivated by a bias against a person?s race, religion, sexual orientation, and/or ethnicity/national origin. Commissioned by the Attorney General and aided by several local and state law enforcement agencies already investigating and collecting information about hate crimes, the FBI?s Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program developed a data collection system for that purpose. Hate Crime Statistics, 1990: A Resource Book was the first publication that made available the hate crime data collected in 1990 by 11 individual states. Once the national UCR Program implemented a uniform data collection method, the 1992 edition of Hate Crime Statistics premiered the data reported by law enforcement agencies across the Nation.
