What is a Hate Crime?

A hate crime is a criminal act or attempted criminal act committed against a victim or their property because the victim is perceived to be a member of a protected class, including: disability, gender, nationality, race, ethnicity, religion, gender, or sexual orientation.

Hate crimes can include:

  • Physical assault
  • Threatening phone calls
  • Vandalizing personal property

The freedom of speech, as protected by the US Constitution, allows one to express opinions and ideas as long as it does not interfere with the civil rights of others. If this behavior escalates to threats being made or criminal acts being carried out, it could become classified as a hate crime.
