Appendix 1: Data Characteristics and Known Limitations Crime Data Local law enforcement agencies are required to submit monthly copies of hate crime reports to the Department of Justice (DOJ) in compliance with California Penal Code section 13023. California Penal Code section 422.55 defines a hate crime as “a criminal act committed, in whole or in part, because of one or more of the following actual or perceived characteristics of 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 of these actual or perceived characteristics.” The following information and limitations should be considered when using hate crime data: 1) A hate crime event contains the occurrence of one or more criminal offenses, committed against one or more victims, by one or more suspects or perpetrators. Victims can have more than one offense committed against them. 2) Hate crimes reported by law enforcement agencies are counted in a specific way. In each hate crime event, the DOJ counts the total number of victims, the total number of suspects, and the total number of criminal offenses in one event. These totals are then classified and counted by type of bias motivation (anti-black, antiHispanic, anti-Jewish, anti-gay, etc.), type of crime (murder, aggravated assault, burglary, destruction/vandalism, etc.), the location where the crime took place (residence, street, synagogue, school, etc.), and the type of victim (individual or property). 3) The hate crime reporting system was implemented by the DOJ in 1994. Law enforcement agencies submit copies of initial crime reports to the DOJ. Crime reports that were submitted as hate crimes, but later determined to be unfounded, were not included. 4) The DOJ requested that each law enforcement agency establish procedures incorporating a two-tier review (decision-making) process. The first level is done by the initial officer who responds to the suspected hate crime incident. At the second level, each report is reviewed by at least one other officer to confirm that the event was, in fact, a hate crime. 5) Caution should be used when making jurisdictional comparisons. The following factors should be considered: cultural diversity and population density; size of law enforcement agencies; and the training received in the identification of hate crimes by law enforcement officers in each jurisdiction.
HATE CRIME IN CALIFORNIA 2012
27
6) The following factors may influence the volume of hate crimes reported to the DOJ: Cultural practices of individuals and their likeliness to report hate crimes to law enforcement agencies. Strength and investigative emphasis of law enforcement agencies. Policies of law enforcement agencies. Community policing policies. 7) From 1995 to 2001, a “hierarchy rule” was used to count the various types of hate crimes (murder, intimidation, vandalism, etc.). This method counted the most serious offense in a hate crime event and counted all additional offenses in multiple-offense events under the most serious crime count. For example, a crime event that had two offenses — a simple assault and an aggravated assault — would be counted as two aggravated assaults. Trend analysis for these years can be performed since the unit of count is consistent. In 2002, the DOJ began counting each offense in each hate crime event, whether they had one offense (a majority of events) or multiple offenses (a minority of events). This change was implemented to more accurately count each type of criminal offense. Using this new counting standard, comparisons and trend analysis should be limited to 2002 and forward. In 2009, the DOJ began collecting information on hate crimes involving multiplebias motivations. Law enforcement agencies were able to report up to five bias motivations for each hate-related event, as long as there was a unique offense for each bias motivation. In 2011, the DOJ expanded the acceptable location codes for the California hate crime data collection system to reflect modifications implemented at the national level. 8) A significant reason for the disparity between individual victims and victims that are an entity is due to the DOJ’s Criminal Justice Statistics Center’s use of the Federal Bureau of Investigation Uniform Crime Reporting 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.

HATE CRIME IN CALIFORNIA 2012
County District Attorney and Elected City Attorney Prosecutorial Data The following information and limitations should be considered when interpreting hate crime cases: 1) In order to show the criminal justice system’s response to hate crimes, in 1995 the Attorney General asked all district attorneys and elected city attorneys to submit summary data of complaints filed and convictions secured. 2) The 2012 District Attorney’s and Elected City Attorney’s Report File of Hate Crime Cases contains summary data based on cases referred to each district attorney or elected city attorney, and filings and convictions that occurred from January 1, 2012, through December 31, 2012. 3) When viewing prosecutorial data, it is not possible to relate the number of hate crimes reported by law enforcement agencies to the number of hate crimes prosecuted by district attorneys and elected city attorneys. First, crimes often occur in different reporting years than their subsequent prosecutions. Second, the number of crimes reported by law enforcement is much higher than those calling for prosecutorial action since the latter requires an arrested defendant who can be prosecuted in a court of law. 4) All prosecutorial data includes hate crimes committed by both juvenile and adult defendants.

Bisexual – Of or relating to persons who experience sexual attraction toward and responsiveness to both males and females; (noun) a bisexual person. Case – A set of facts about a crime that is referred to a district attorney for filing with a court. The case may charge one or more persons with the commission of one or more offenses. (For this report, the case must contain some element of bias.) Complaints Filed – Any verified written accusation, filed by a district attorney with a criminal court, that charges one or more persons with the commission of one or more offenses. (For this report, the case must contain some element of bias.) Conviction – A judgment based on the verdict of a jury or a judicial officer or on a guilty plea or a nolo contendere plea of the defendant. Disposition – In criminal procedure, the sentencing or other final settlement of a criminal case. Ethnic Bias – A preformed negative opinion or attitude toward a group of persons of the same race or national origin who share common or similar traits in language, custom, and tradition. Event – An occurrence when a hate crime is involved. (In this report, the information about the event is a crime report or source document that meets the criteria for a hate crime.)

HATE CRIME IN CALIFORNIA 2012
Homosexual – Of or relating to persons who experience sexual attraction toward and responsiveness to members of their own sex; (noun) a homosexual person. Known Suspect – Any person alleged to have committed a criminal act or attempted criminal act to cause physical injury, emotional suffering, or property damage. The known suspect category contains the number of suspects that have been identified and/or alleged to have committed hate crimes as stated in the crime report. For example, witnesses observe three suspects fleeing the scene of a crime. The word “known” does not necessarily refer to specific identities. Lesbian – Of or relating to females who experience sexual attraction toward and responsiveness to other females; (noun) a homosexual female. Location – The place where the hate crime event occurred. The location categories follow UCR location specifications developed by the FBI. Examples are residence, hotel, bar, church, etc. Multi-Racial – A hate crime that involves more than one victim or suspect, and where the victims or suspects are from two or more different race groups, such as African American and white or Hispanic and Asian. Nolo Contendere – A plea or answer in a criminal action in which the accused does not admit guilt but agrees to be subject to the same punishment as if he or she were guilty. Offenses – Criminal acts that are recorded as follows: murder, forcible rape, robbery, aggravated assault, burglary, larceny-theft, motor vehicle theft, arson, simple assault, intimidation, and destruction/vandalism as defined in the UCR and the national Hate Crimes Statistics Report. Physical/Mental Disability Bias – A preformed negative opinion or attitude toward a group of persons based on physical or mental impediments/challenges, whether such disabilities are congenital or acquired by heredity, accident, injury, advanced age, or illness. Property Crimes – Burglary, larceny-theft, motor vehicle theft, arson, and destruction/vandalism are reported as property crimes. Racial Bias – A preformed negative opinion or attitude toward a group of persons, such as Asians, blacks, or whites, based on physical characteristics. Relationship Between “Complaints Filed” and “Convictions” – The annual prosecutorial report collects data on the total number of hate crime cases filed and the total number of hate crime convictions. There is no direct relationship between “complaints filed” and “convictions” since a case may be filed in one year and the outcome (trial or pleading) may occur in another.
HATE CRIME IN CALIFORNIA 2012
31
Religious Bias – A preformed negative opinion or attitude toward a group of persons based on religious beliefs regarding the origin and purpose of the universe and the existence or nonexistence of a supreme being. Examples are Catholics, Jews, Protestants, or Atheists. Sexual-Orientation Bias – A preformed negative opinion or attitude toward a group of persons based on sexual preferences and/or attractions toward and responsiveness to members of their own or opposite sexes. Simple Assault – An unlawful attack by one person upon another that does not involve the use of a firearm, knife, cutting instrument, or other dangerous weapon and in which there were no serious or aggravated injuries to the victim (FBI’s UCR definition). Trial Verdict – The finding or answer of a jury or judge concerning a matter submitted to them for their judgment. Uniform Crime Reporting – A federal reporting system that provides data on crime based on police statistics submitted by law enforcement agencies throughout the nation. The DOJ administers and forwards the data for California to the federal program. Victim – An individual, a business or financial institution, a religious organization, government, or other. For example, if a church or synagogue is vandalized or desecrated, the victim would be a religious organization. Violent Crimes – Murder, forcible rape, robbery, aggravated assault, simple assault, and intimidation are considered violent crimes in this report. (Robbery is included in crimes against property in the FBI Hate Crimes Statistics Report.)
Acknowledgments The annual Hate Crime in California report is mandated by California Penal section 13023. The Department extends its appreciation to all the law enforcement agencies, district attorney’s and elected city attorney’s offices that provided complete and timely data. This report would not have been possible without their cooperation. An electronic version of this report and other reports are available on the California Attorney General’s website at http://oag.ca.gov/.
