"Hate crimes are those in which the defendant intentionally selects a victim, or in the case of a property crime, the property that is the object of the crime, because of the actual or perceived race, color, religion, national origin, ethnicity, gender, gender identity, disability, or sexual orientation of any person."
IACP Law Enforcement Policy Center has a resource page for the Investigation of Hate Crimes. Law enforcement analysts benefit from a clear understanding of these types of crimes as they analyze their jurisdictions' information and intelligence. All of the policy documents can be found at this link.
