And nearly 20 percent of the crimes were based on sexual orientation or gender identity bias. \u00a0\u201cIt\u2019s important that the United States be able to tackle this growing problem with the best data it can gather. The FBI\u2019s statistics on hate crimes, while the best we have, are also <a href=\"https:\/\/www.propublica.org\/article\/hate-crimes-are-up-but-the-government-isnt-keeping-good-track-of-them\" target=\"_blank\">incomplete<\/a> \u2014 partly because it\u2019s up to state and local police departments to decide whether to provide the federal government with their data.

But taking this rise in hate seriously also requires that law enforcement officials cultivate trust with the communities they serve. Victims need to know they will be treated with respect if they come forward &#8212; especially in the current political environment, where many may be particularly fearful.\u201d More from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/opinions\/hate-in-america-is-on-the-rise\/2017\/11\/25\/33808364-c94d-11e7-8321-481fd63f174d_story.html?utm_term=.c8acd28808af\" target=\"_blank\"><em>The Washington Post<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>The FBI<\/strong> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hrc.org\/blog\/new-fbi-data-shows-increased-reported-incidents-of-anti-lgbtq-hate-crimes-i\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>hate crime statistics<\/strong><\/a><strong> also highlight the ongoing epidemic of anti-LGBTQ violence. <\/strong>Of the total hate crimes reported last year, 1,076 were based on sexual orientation bias and 124 were based on gender identity bias &#8212; a two percent and nine percent increase, respectively.
