resulted in hate crime convictions cannot be linked to the number of hate crimes reported by law enforcement agencies.
In 2006, adjustments were made to the 2005 conviction data; therefore, counts do not match previously published data.

Appendix 1Data Characteristics and Known Limitations
Crime Data
Local law enorcement agencies are required to submit monthly copies o hate crime reports to the
Department o Justice (DOJ) in compliance with Caliornia Penal Code section 13023. Caliornia Penal
Code section 422.55 defnes a hate crime as a criminal act committed, in whole or in part, because o
one or more o the ollowing actual or perceived characteristics o the victim: (1) disability, (2) gender,
(3) nationality, (4) race or ethnicity, (5) religion, (6) sexual orientation, (7) association with a person or
group with one or more o these actual or perceived characteristics.
The ollowing inormation and limitations should be considered when using hate crime data:
1) A hate crime event contains the occurrence o one or more criminal oenses, committed against
one or more victims, by one or more suspects or perpetrators. Victims can have more than one
oense committed against them.
2) Hate crimes reported by law enorcement agencies are counted in a specifc way. In each hate
crime event, the DOJ counts the total number o victims, the total number o suspects, and the
total number o criminal oenses in one event. These totals are then classifed and counted by
type o bias motivation (anti-black, anti-Hispanic, anti-Jewish, anti-gay, etc.), type o crime (murder,
aggravated assault, burglary, destruction/vandalism, etc.), the location where the crime took place
(residence, street, synagogue, school, etc.), and the type o victim (individual or property).
3) The hate crime reporting system was implemented by the DOJ in 1994. Law enorcement
agencies submit copies o initial crime reports to the DOJ. Crime reports that were submitted as
hate crimes, but later determined to be unounded, were not included.
4) The DOJ requested that each law enorcement agency establish procedures incorporating a two-
tier review (decision-making) process. The frst level is done by the initial ocer who responds
to the suspected hate crime incident. At the second level, each report is reviewed by at least one
other ocer to confrm that the event was, in act, a hate crime.
5) Caution should be used when making jurisdictional comparisons. The ollowing actors should
be considered: cultural diversity and population density; size o law enorcement agencies; and
the training received in the identifcation o hate crimes by law enorcement ocers in each
jurisdiction.
6) The ollowing actors may inuence the volume o hate crimes reported to the DOJ:z Cultural practices o individuals and their likeliness to report hate crimes to law
enorcement agencies.
z Strength and investigative emphasis o law enorcement agencies.
z Policies o law enorcement agencies.
z Community policing policies.

7) From 1995 to 2001, a hierarchy rule was used to count the various types o hate crimes (murder,
intimidation, vandalism, etc.). This method counted the most serious oense in a hate crime event and
counted all additional oenses in multiple-oense events under the most serious crime count. For
example, a crime event that had two oenses a simple assault and an aggravated assault would be
counted as two aggravated assaults. Trend analysis or these years can be perormed since the unit o
count is consistent.
In 2002, the DOJ began counting each oense in each hate crime event, whether they had one oense
(a majority o events) or multiple oenses (a minority o events). This change was implemented to more
accurately count each type o criminal oense. Using this new counting standard, comparisons and trend
analysis should be limited to 2002 and orward.
In 2009, the DOJ began collecting inormation on hate crimes involving multiple-bias motivations. Law
enorcement agencies were able to report up to fve bias motivations or each hate-related event, as long
as there was a unique oense or each bias motivation.
8) A signifcant reason or the disparity between individual victims and victims that are an entity is due to
the DOJs Criminal Justice Statistics Centers use o the Federal Bureau o Investigation Uniorm CrimeReporting program standards. A property crime against an entity (a business, religious organization,
government institution, etc.) can only be counted as one victim, whereas a crime committed against an
individual can have more than one victim per crime event.
County District Attorney and City Attorney
Prosecutorial Data
The ollowing inormation and limitations should be considered when interpreting hate crime cases:
1) In order to show the criminal justice systems response to hate crimes, in 1995 the Attorney Generalasked all district attorneys and city attorneys to submit summary data o complaints fled and convictions
secured.
2) The 2011 District Attorneys and City Attorneys Report File o Hate Crime Cases contains summary data based
on cases reerred to each district attorney or city attorney, and flings and convictions that occurred rom
January 1, 2011, through December 31, 2011.
3) When viewing prosecutorial data, it is not possible to relate the number o hate crimes reported by law
enorcement agencies to the number o hate crimes prosecuted by district attorneys and city attorneys.
First, crimes oten occur in dierent reporting years than their subsequent prosecutions. Second, the
number o crimes reported by law enorcement is much higher than those calling or prosecutorial action
since the latter requires an arrested deendant who can be prosecuted in a court o law.
4) All prosecutorial data includes hate crimes committed by both juvenile and adult deendants.
