The data presented in Section II of this report furnish state and agency breakdowns of bias-motivated offenses. Information contained in Table 12 furnishes state totals for the number of participating agencies, the population represented, the number of agencies submitting hate crime incidents, and the number of incidents reported. Table 13 provides data from those agencies that submitted one or more hate crime incidents, and Table 14 shows those agencies that submitted reports indicating that no instances of hate crimes occurred. The data in Tables 13 and 14 are presented alphabetically by state with each state subdivided by agency type, i.e., cities, universities and colleges, suburban counties, rural counties, state police agencies, and other agencies. The data published for universities and colleges represent reported crime from only those individual university/college law enforcement agencies that contributed to the UCR Program; the tables do not include educational institutions whose hate crime data were reported through the local law enforcement agency. Both tables also provide the number of quarters for which each agency contributed hate crime data to the UCR Program. (See Methodology.)
