The FBI recorded a drop in hate crimes in 2021, but this year's tally may not give a true account of hate crimes in the United States as thousands of law enforcement agencies were absent from the accounting.

The Pride flag is reflected in the glasses of a white nationalist who came to protest at the LGBTQ+ community's"Pride in the Park" event in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, on June 11, 2022.The Pride flag is reflected in the glasses of a white nationalist who came to protest at the LGBTQ+ community's"Pride in the Park" event in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, on June 11, 2022.

The participation drop-off is due to a transition from a legacy crime reporting system that has existed in various forms since the 1920s to a more sophisticated reporting system that captures specific details of a crime. It allows the FBI and researchers to extract deeper analysis from crime statistics. For example, FBI data in 2021 showed that approximately 80% of homicides nationwide were committed with a firearm.

In a news release, the Justice Department said"data cannot reliably be compared across years" as"several of the nation's largest law enforcement agencies, as well as some states, did not make the transition." As more law enforcement agencies transition to the new system, the department said, it would be able to"provide a richer and more complete picture of hate crimes nationwide.

"There's 200,000 to 300,000 hate crime incidents in a given year and the FBI data records less than 10,000 of them," says Eaven Holder, who authored a peer-reviewed study examining 18 years between the two data sets."Estimates from the National Crime Victimization Survey suggests that 40 to 50% of all hate crimes go unreported to police."

"Sometimes the FBI and the welfare agencies will disagree about why, the amount of bias, or disagree whether it was a hate crime," Kaplan says.

What is a hate crime?

90% OF HATE CRIMES BY THE RADICAL LEFTIST TERRORISTS!

Black assaults on Asian & Jews are out of control. But no one wants to talk about that because it doesn’t fit the woke leftist narrative

Their statistics are incorrect. I am experiencing a hate crime that is not counted. There are over 450000 people that hate me. You can ask the VP, I'm white. FBI

I'm sorry there aren't enough hate crimes to support your imaginary bullshit 'white supremacy' narrative. why aren't you reporting non stop on the actual jihadist terrorist attack on the NYPD from yesterday I wonder you should be completely defunded.

Oh please DefundNPR

🤣🤣🤣🤣 In other words, “Sh*t, hate crime is down! This doesn’t help our narrative that trans people are the most discriminated people on earth.What we gonna do Dan?” “We’ll, Steve, ummm, I know,let’s say everyone was out the country so the stats were wrong” “Great idea, Dan!”

As I said, minimized. Leadership is apathetic to our ethnic cleansing, as the celebrate themselves unaware of how sadistic they appear. VP

NPR sucks rainbow colored balls

Totally not like a modern Democratic administration to fudge numbers in their favor... 😆😂🤣

The FBI ' hate crime' stats are bullshit. Agents are pressured to invent crimes. Of course, you wouldn't know that as you don't investigate shit any more.

National Incident-Based Reporting System (NIBRS) NIBRS goes much deeper because of its ability to provide circumstances and context for crimes like location, time of day, and whether the incident was cleared.

Remember that most hate crimes are committed by cops, they don't count those 😉

Hold on. -We had race riots in 2020, complete with defund the police movement. -'Somehow' hate crimes went down in 2021. -In 2022, stats were incomplete. I wonder if this was related to funding... 🤔 I'll take easily foreseeable outcomes for $200 please, Alex.

Everything is a hate crime. Just being white is a hate crime. Grow up.

Liars. Defund NPR!

FBI is corrupt AF . And sadly the whole US govt as well .

Especially

Cut and paste every time npr tweets....thank me later.

Hate Hoax crimes are up because demand exceeds supply. NPR want to write that article? How about talking about how foolish “hate crime” designation is? A crime is a crime.

Hate crimes. As opposed to love crimes.

So it's, 'heads I win, tails you lose.' Time for npr to pack up shop. You're finished.

They also don't redact false reports. I remember just in 2016 there were over 2000 bomb threats made to Jewish community centers and the like by an Israeli citizen just to stoke allegations of racism.

“Hate crimes” data was always garbage, but that never stopped you from hyping it before. The data was always useless because of a lack of uniform definitions, selective participation, and a tend for the data to follow media trends.

Now do the immigration and illegal crossing numbers at the southern border.

Another story to further divide people. Until numbers are accurately reported of who did what to who then we can write about hate crimes.

“We are not going to waste our listeners time with fake news stories.” -NPR (about real stories) defundNPR

What about those occurrences yet uncharged? There are about 32 Patriot Front members arrested in north Idaho facing potential federal hate crime charges. idpol

If we don't test for covid the number of cases goes down

Weird, Nationalist refusing transparency

Plenty of hate crimes in Texas committed by Christian extremists

This is because far too many police officers are bigots who commit hate crimes routinely.

The FBI is flawed as well as corrupt .

Why would we trust any statistic provided by the FBI. It’s apparent, as an organization, they care to control narrative, not articulate truth.

The demand for racism exceeds the supply. I’m so sorry.

Those same agencies aren't reporting other crime statistics either. Which is why media organizations are downplaying the actual increase in crime rates.

So to clarify, npr is mad that there is a drop in hate crimes? But npr ignores black hate crimes against Jews already so mostly you’re mad that your allies aren’t the victims?

MrOlmos you guys need this number to stay up for narratives, right? Why else eouod you work so hard to downplay drops

Ppl r sick of the mediA. U r a bunch of awful ppl... How disgusting do you have to be that a drop in hate crimes is something you don't want to celebrate you disgusting hats Journalists are far more filled with hate and most

Why are you downplaying the drop?

Now WHY EXACTLY would the FBI misreport these data?

NPR is a hate crime on the American taxpayer.

Whats a matter!? Do the facts not fit the extremist bullsh!t you peddle? You should be used to that by now.

Speculation to ramp up the division...d0y 🤡

It’s well known that the fbi is completely corrupt & will do whatever it takes to make Biden look good. Here is one more piece of corroborating evidence.

MrOlmos It is impossible to ever properly account for the rise and fall of hate crimes, simply because they can’t be defined in any meaningful way.

Who, here, locks their doors at night, or looks over their shoulder on the street/subway because of the “increased threat of white nationalists?”

The stats aren’t flawed, your narrative is.

MrOlmos Law = III%, Proud “boys”, Oathkeepers and all the other wannabes?

SJWs don’t like it when society improves.

All the alphabet agencies are worthless.

Any statistics on love crimes?

The vast majority of hate crimes are against whites, but those aren't counted

We have some work to do

Shouldn’t a drop in hate crimes be a thing to celebrated 😑

High recommend peterboghossian episodes on how NPR isn’t a good source on news and what not.

I saw you move the goalpost.

The FBI was to busy having meetings with Twitter execs to keep track.

When the numbers contradict the obvious lies we've told, make up new lies. Just like you did with covid and vaccines. Well done.

Uh oh, time to redefine “hate crime” into something smaller so we can make it increase in perpetuity. We know the drill, NPR 😉

DefundNPR

NPR - narrative is more important than the truth, can I get a refund on my donation from a few years back.

Translation: “We trust the government when they support our bias, but don’t trust them when they don’t support our bias.”

Don’t worry guys! Racism is still rampant!

They also don't redact false reports. I remember just in 2016 there were over 2000 bomb threats made to Jewish community centers and the like by an Israeli citizen just to stoke allegations of racism.

I'll bet a million dollars that if a Republican becomes President then miraculously hate crime rates will suddenly skyrocket and they'll be all over MSN, CNN ( assuming their still around) , NPR, ABC and all other left wing media.

What % of the reports turned out to be hoaxes? 😨

Since you’re so concerned about hate crimes — do a piece on anti-Asian and anti-Semitic hate crimes and do a breakdown of perps. Guessing you’ll find stuff that’s not so in tune with The Narrative.

Translation: “we trust the government when they support our hypothesis, and distrust them when they don’t support our hypothesis.”

(laughs in Juicy Smollett)

clown world cant accept good news.

Hate crimes ... They said hate crimes 😂😂😂😂

How about news agencies? Were they counted?

What the FBI has done with social media to silence Americans is a hate crime

Follow the science.

How did NPR become so corrupt.

npr: 'The fact that hate crimes went down destroys our narrative, so let us dazzle you with this other bullsh*t over here!'

Most of us know you are a leftist organization and we the people don’t want to fund you anymore!

Do you realize how absurd you sound Ridiculous.

No one should trust your reporting. No one.

NPR= Nonsensical Political Rag

It's tough to record something that only really exists as an abstraction.

You’re everything wrong with media. You push a narrative of division and fear. You’re a propaganda organization operating for globalists. Disgusting and transparent to more and more people.

The people should pull your funding. You are garbage.

You people inhabit a mental universe where everything you believe is unfalsifiable. You like the science until the science changes. You say follow the data until it becomes problematic.

FJB

Defund NPR

I hate NPR and stopped contributing in 2018 does this count?

A fact which was MORESO the case in previous years. That still argues for a downward trend. Or are you just trying to argue for a moral panic?

“Oh no! There’s a shortage of hate crimes!! We must press on manufacturing them or we’ll have nothing to talk about!!!”

You just don't like the statistics because they don't support your favored agenda and narrative.

Wait….Americans might be hating less? That doesn’t fit ’s narrative that all white people outside of NYC and DC are members of the Klan. There must be something wrong!

NPR stirring up that racial hatred into the new year.

Doesn't fit the narrative, good boy NPR, good state media boy

You doubled the funding for hate crimes that were already decreasing RepCarbajal ?

Lol, we have already seen how our 'dear leaders' promoteracism and calledconcerned parents domestic terrorists. Even after we now KNOW the FBI suppressed info they knew to be true to rig an election, NPR is more lap dog than investigator.

There is no such thing as 'hate' crime. To try to intuit what a criminal was thinking while committing a crime makes that crime no worse or no better.

Because the statistics don't fit the narrative they have to be wrong. Laughable

NPR tries to sell lies daily.

So sorry this is happening to you

I used to be a loyal listener of but then I lived more and got more wisdom. Now I SEE and KNOW that NPR is a propaganda machine that serves to divide our nation and push this country away from our Christian values.

Crimes stats have always been fake.

I don’t believe the corrupt FBI knows what a hate crime is.

How did NPR become so evil that not only would I never make a donation, I can’t trust one thing they say? Who’s leading this org? It’s even and destined to fail. Can’t you see it?

StateSponsoredMedia

You WANT more hate crimes? What is wrong with you people? Your divide and conquer tactics don’t work unless you can make people want to hate and kill each other? Congratulations on being deprived and demonic.

Gotta keep up that white people are bad meme eh?

WOW a lying liberal disinformation service quoting statistics ( we all know how they can be used to lie ) from a government sanctioned lying organization. What could go wrong?

Everyone: 'Lets be positive for the new year.' npr: '...everything sucks.'

NPR & FBI: 'Hate crimes must stay high in perpetuity or our entire cult has no meaning, many of our jobs will disappear, & our revenue will dry up completely.'

I’d argue all crime is hate crime 🤷🏽‍♀️ They aren’t robbing, raping or murdering you because they love you 🤷🏽‍♀️

Weird. Who is beating up all the Asian people Strange and magical.

Yeah like in San Francisco they'll show one race targeting another and they'll say it's actually because that race is of a smaller size which is an unmutable characteristic therefore hate crime

All crimes have increased! It’s just that fewer are reported because people know that police, judges, and politicians will do little about it!

Of course they're not part of the accounting. Some of their staff probably participated in some of those hate crimes.

Fake news folks

Both need defunding

Was it too much to ask our Justice Department to maintain an accurate record during the transition? Are they unable to compile the tally from those using the old system and add it to the tally from the new one? It would be closer to true than what they have now. Thank you Merrick

Two entities whose reporting we can’t trust, NPR and the FBI.

Doesn’t include enough white nationalists

Statistically speaking, your image should be of a black man.

Of course this is the same FBI we now know from the Twitter files illegally pressured social media to censor the hunter Biden laptop story in order to help get Joe Biden elected, exposing the FBI as politically and criminally corrupt.

Media is desperate to sew division.

Such as the hate crimes being inflicted on police across the nation?

Maybe the FBI should coordinate with the SPLC? Also, that photo is powerful and my emotional reaction was « what a miserable, sad person he must be ». That amount of anger - to feel that way and then dress up that way is methodical, time-consuming and intentional.

Things look like they are getting better, but as always an caveat make it look like they are holding out hope that things are not actually getting better.

Kind of like they were absent reporting inner-city crime in general! I'm sure that doesn't benefit any groups in particular though!

These are the kind of things that cause all our government systems to be called into question. CDC, FDA USDA, FCC, National Gun Registry etc. Failure to upgrade systems, enforce data collection requirements and produce valid stats causes bad decisions.

The three letter entities of America have been weaponized by the progressive socialist Nazis. They have illegitimately barricaded themselves into Washington to destroy America as fast as possible. It’s time for the conservative Christians to do what we have to do.

The FBI isn't a very reliable source for info or stats.

As thousand of law enforcement are participating and covering these crimes.

Third World Problems

“Hate crimes” , such bullshit.

Every single person complaining about NPRs tweet very obviously didn't read the article. Go do something productive with your lives instead of making things up to get mad about.

தன் வீட்டைவிட்டு வெளியேற அனைத்து வீடும் வெளிநாட்டவர் என்று உணரவில்லை எனில் பெற்றவர்களை உணர்தல் இயலாது. என் முகம் படைக்கப்பட்டது வெளிநாட்டவர் உணரவே உறவு கொள்ளவே என இடித்துரைத்தல் வேண்டப்பட வெளிநாட்டவர்க்கு கல்வி.

Of course it has reduced, TFG has skulked off the stage and exposed for the societal disaster we all knew he was

🤔Not buying it.

Not a word about the rash of anti-Asian hate crimes. Can’t imagine why. Lol

Drop in hate crime. NPR “this can’t be true because it doesn’t fit our narrative.”

So you're not happy with the report because it denies your claim that America is the Home of Racist Asshoes who regularly murder PoCs daily

Why didn't you post this still from an actual hate crime, instead of your stock photo of a 'white supremacist'?

Is this a one-time phenomenon or are most years’ tallies inaccurate for the same reason?
