Key findings
Methodology (Qualitative/Quantitative and exact type used, questionnaires etc)
The data on this website is largely provided by National Points of Contact on Hate Crimes (NPCs), appointed by OSCE participating States' governments. The focus is on collecting data related to specific bias motivations as requested by ODIHR. Reports from civil society groups, intergovernmental organizations, and the Holy See are also included. ODIHR's annual hate crime reporting involves several stages: issuing a call for submissions, analyzing and assessing data for inclusion, releasing data for consultation, and reviewing amendments and late submissions before final presentation.
Sample details and representativeness
Note: A higher incidence of hate crimes recorded and reported by a particular state does not necessarily mean that more hate crimes are being committed there; the statistics may simply reflect a broader definition of hate crimes or a more effective system for recording data. A higher incidence of hate crimes recorded by NGOs in relation to specific bias motivations or particular countries also does not mean that more hate crimes are being committed in relation to a particular bias motivation. This may reflect a higher capacity of organizations to monitor certain types of hate crime.
