against Jews, Latinos, Black people and members of the LGBTQ community, said the result is that the new FBI report is an out-of-focus snapshot on what's going on in America.

"As a result of the shift to NIBRS-only data collection, law enforcement agency participation in submitting all crime statistics, including hate crimes, fell significantly from 2020 to 2021. "
So, rather than submit an incomplete and thus inaccurate report to the FBI, some departments struggling to adapt to the new reporting system simply opted out this year.Still, even with only a little over two-thirds of the nation's police departments submitting data, the new FBI hate crimes report makes for grim reading.
"Blacks have been top targets for hate crime in U.S. since data collection started in 1991 and were in 35% of total in 2020," Levin said.
