If you were actually as unbiased as you pretended to be, why are you more mad at me for showing blue states are more bigoted than red states with statistics than you are at everyone else for insisting that red states are more bigoted based on nothing?

- proximity to minorities is a factor. red states tend to be heavily straight christian whites(nothing wrong inherently with them) and have very low IR dating and such and heavy segregation. Not enough "others" to victimize.

- how crimes are categorized are a factor. many crimes are not categorized as hate crimes even if they're motivated by race.

- Georgia, Wyoming, South Carolina, Indiana, and Arkansas do not have ANY hate crime law on the books and these states are notorious for racially motivated violence even today(as well as religious and sexual orientation based violence). Especially SC, Georgia and Arkansas. So you can't track what does not get caught in the tracking system's net.

You had made the claim in post 40 that "blue states are more bigoted than red states," but of course hate crime reports are not the only measure of this.

I would argue that actual crimes motivated by bigotry are a lot more vital than whether a person privately doesn't approve of interracial couples.

lmao classic trumpster fire response from mal


Valid assessments about crime, including hate crime, are possible only with careful study and analysis of the various conditions affecting each local law enforcement jurisdiction. (See Uniform Crime Reporting Statistics: Their Proper Use.) In addition, some data in this publication may not be comparable to those in prior editions of Hate Crime Statistics because of differing levels of participation from year to year. Therefore, the reader is cautioned against making simplistic comparisons between the statistical data of this program and that of others with differing methodologies or even comparing individual reporting units solely on the basis of their agency type.

...The data used in creating this table were from all law enforcement agencies that submitted either of the following: (1) at least one Group A Incident Report, a Group B Arrest Report, or a Zero Report for at least 1 month of the calendar year via the National Incident-Based Reporting System; or (2) at least one Hate Crime Incident Report and/or a Zero Report via the Hate Crime Technical Specification or the Microsoft Excel Workbook Tool. The published data, therefore, do not necessarily represent reports from each participating agency for all 12 months (or 4 quarters) of the calendar year.


tl;dr the submission of reports is voluntary by locality, not even by state, and the data note cautions using the data for the kind of comparisons you are attempting to make itt

Can you show though that the red states are reporting less than the blue states are? Because this standard of reporting applies to all states including the blue ones.

yes, you can literally show that red states are more likely to have a smaller share of their population covered by the reporting agencies

no, this doesn't refute your overall point because what you said is still plausibly true (e.g., Texas has fewer reports than California)

but it also shows that it could be that they are reporting for fewer months out of the year, for instance

that is why it cautions not to use the data the way that you are

this is bullshit, though, actually southern states and cities are overall much more integrated than northern and western ones

it is a combination of stricter federal scrutiny and an overall level of poverty that pushes blacks and whites closer, relatively, than the places with higher income inequality like san jose or new york

I'm not interested in "coulds", are they or aren't they? I'm not sure by what other metric you want to use, but blue states having on average twice the amount of hate crimes per capita can't just be chalked up to a guess that red states are all bad at reporting.

it quite literally could be

and your data doesn't allow us to make any statements other than 'could' -- this isn't a case where we have a dataset with noise we can plausibly control for, we have a dataset that is known to not give us apples to apples comparison between districts or even years

You. You're lying by misrepresenting the facts. Especially considering the FBI themselves says not to use the UCR to make any claims as it does not paint a complete picture nor does it provide the proper insight.

https://ucr.fbi.gov/ucr-statistics-their-proper-use

UCR data are sometimes used to compile rankings of individual jurisdictions and institutions of higher learning. These incomplete analyses have often created misleading perceptions which adversely affect geographic entities and their residents. For this reason, the FBI has a longstanding policy against ranking participating law enforcement agencies on the basis of crime data alone. Despite repeated warnings against these practices, some data users continue to challenge and misunderstand this position.

Data users should not rank locales because there are many factors that cause the nature and type of crime to vary from place to place. UCR statistics include only jurisdictional population figures along with reported crime, clearance, or arrest data. Rankings ignore the uniqueness of each locale. Some factors that are known to affect the volume and type of crime occurring from place to place are:

Population density and degree of urbanization.
Variations in composition of the population, particularly youth concentration.
Stability of the population with respect to residents; mobility, commuting patterns, and transient factors.
Economic conditions, including median income, poverty level, and job availability.
Modes of transportation and highway systems.
Cultural factors and educational, recreational, and religious characteristics.
Family conditions with respect to divorce and family cohesiveness.
Climate.
Effective strength of law enforcement agencies.
Administrative and investigative emphases on law enforcement.
Policies of other components of the criminal justice system (i.e., prosecutorial, judicial, correctional, and probational).
Citizens attitudes toward crime.
Crime reporting practices of the citizenry

I was having a bit of deja vu when I first started the topic and couldn't remember until I did a UCR search and South Carolina hate laws and started seeing all the articles from 2015 about the Charleston church shooting, as it was a big point of argument then and used by people on the right to show that blue states were more racist. It was bullshit to use then and it's bullshit now, and the FBI themselves recognize it as such.

It may not be the only answer, but it's worth taking into account.

Underreporting is a huge issue across the board. Crimes in general. Hate crimes. Sexual assault.

As someone who works in safety, I know it's a huge problem with safety incidents. Nobody wants to be the one to admit that "there's a problem", so they just don't report when they happen.

If anything, this data could be used in reverse to underline that blue states are the ones willing to call out hate crimes when they happen instead of trying to sweep them under the rug. *I* won't do that, because that'd be doing the same thing Mal is in reverse, but it goes to show that even if you have data, if you interpret it poorly, you come out looking like an ass.

Like I was saying earlier, this doesn't mean that these crimes aren't being reported at all, but that someone filing the report doesn't check the "hate crime" box for one reason or another.
