(Jewish Group) Risk of hate crimes against Jews and others could rise as 2024 election nears, report

Jews and other minority groups may face more hate crimes as the next presidential election approaches, according to a new report.

The paper, published by the Leadership Conference Education Fund, a civil and human rights nonprofit organization, examined FBI data on hate crimes in 2021, the most recent year for which data is available.

That year saw 817 anti-Jewish incidents, an increase of 20% from 2021. That increase came despite numerous police departments across the country declining to share their hate crime data with the FBI.

While Jews were the most targeted of any religious group, crimes against Jews made up just a fraction of the more than 10,800 total hate crimes identified.
