HATE CRIME

VICTIMS: 2013-2017
BY: ANDRES EISERT
HATE CRIMES DEFINITION:

The FBI’s UCR Program defines hate crime as a committed criminal offense which is
motivated, in whole or in part, by the offender’s bias(es) against a race, religion, disability,
sexual orientation, ethnicity, gender, or gender identity.
HATE CRIME VICTIMS: 2013-2017

2017-2013 This would be easier to understand if the

9000 8493 data were presented in chronological order
8000 7509
7000
7121
6681
7230 (2013-2017).
6000
5000
This way (2017-2013), gives the illusion
4000 that crime is decreasing, when in reality its
3000
2000
numbers are growing each year.

HATE CRIME VICTIMS: 2013-2017

2013-2017 This chart separates clearly each year, but it

is no better at providing an accurate
7230
8493 reading of crimes throughout the years.
Its shape makes it visually hard to tell the
difference between each other.

The clustered column chart in the previous
slide it’s easier to understand.

HATE CRIME VICTIMS: 2013-2017

2013-2017 This is the same clustered chart as the one

9000 8493 from slide 3.
8000 7230 7509
7121
7000 6681 What makes this chart better than the two
6000
5000
previous ones, is that the data is shown in
4000 order, and it shows a clear change each
3000
2000
year.

HATE CRIME VICTIMS BY CATEGORY (2017)

2017 These charts are helpful to recognize the

6000 differences of hate crimes in our
5060
5000 communities reported each year.

3000 Personally, it was easier to read the
2000 1749
1338 Clustered charts over the Pie charts
1000
160 54 132 because they are more organized.
