Police-reported hate crime in Canada, 2015 / by Ben Leber.CS85-002/37-8E-PDF

"This Juristat article examines police-reported hate crime in Canada using data from the Incident-based Uniform Crime Reporting Survey (UCR2), which collects information from police services (see Text box 1). More specifically, this article examines the number of hate crime incidents reported by police in 2015 as well as the characteristics of these incidents, the victims and the accused involved. While the UCR2 covers 99% of the Canadian population, characteristics of hate crime incidents in 2015 were reported by police services that cover 94% of the Canadian population. This is due to the fact that certain municipal police services, such as Calgary, Québec and Saint John, had not transitioned by 2015 to the newest version of the UCR2 Survey which collects details on hate crime characteristics"--Page 4.
