hate crimes
Bias-driven criminal acts
Hate crimes are criminal acts motivated by prejudice against the victim's race, religion, sexual orientation, disability, or other protected characteristic.
The designation typically results in enhanced penalties beyond those for the underlying offense.
The vandalism was prosecuted as a hate crime because of the slurs painted on the synagogue walls.
