A hate crime occurs when an individual commits a criminal offense motivated, in whole or in part, by bias against a person's perceived or actual race, ethnicity, nationality, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity, or other characteristics. This can include acts of violence, vandalism, or threats that specifically target individuals or groups based on these attributes. Hate crimes not only harm the immediate victims but also undermine the safety and well-being of entire communities. Legal definitions and penalties for hate crimes can vary by jurisdiction.
