(Worthy News) – Hate crime incidents in the United States increased during 2019, according to the Federal Bureau of Investigation, with the year seeing a record number of bias-motivated homicides.

The FBI released its annual hate crimes report on Monday, drawing from data submitted by 15,588 law enforcement agencies on criminal acts motivated by bias toward race, ethnicity, ancestry, religion, sexual orientation, disability, gender and gender identity.

In all, there were 7,103 single-bias incidents involving 8,552 victims, with 57.6% of victims targeted due to the offenders’ racial bias, 20.1% targeted due to the offenders’ religious bias and 19.4% targeted due to the offenders’ sexual-orientation or gender identity bias.
