Who is responsible for publishing an annual report that collects data on crimes motivated by biases?

The FBI is responsible for publishing an annual report that collects data on crimes motivated by biases, known as the Hate Crime Statistics report. Since 1990, the FBI has been tracking and reporting these statistics through its Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program, which is mandated by the Hate Crime Statistics Act. This comprehensive report includes information gathered from law enforcement agencies across the United States, highlighting incidents of hate crimes based on various factors, including race, religion, ethnicity, national origin, sexual orientation, gender identity, and disability.

By centralizing this data, the FBI helps to raise awareness of the prevalence of hate crimes and provides valuable information for policymakers, law enforcement agencies, and community organizations working towards preventing such acts. This report aims to create a clearer picture of the impact of bias-motivated crime in the U.S. and serves as a critical resource for understanding and addressing these issues nationally.
