On Monday, the FBI released
its latest tally of hate crimes in the U.S. Despite a 1990 law that
mandates data collection on hate crimes, the FBI’s count remains only a
fraction of what an annual national crime victims survey estimates the
real number to be.
The above map shows some of the gaps that remain in the data. It marks
every law enforcement agency serving at least 10,000 residents that
failed to report at all in 2016, that reported zero hate crimes, or that
reported fewer than one hate crime per 100,000 residents.
ProPublica’s reporting has shown that local jurisdictions often fail to
properly recognize, investigate or prosecute hate crimes, and thus do
not report them to the FBI.
So what else do we know about what we don’t know?
