Does the number of “hate crimes” increase or remain the same, if all 4 types of slurs are employed in a single case?
Yes. If only one type of slur were used it would be categorized as a “Single-Bias Incident” and included in the breakdowns, while if more than one were used it would be a “Multiple-Bias Incident” and not included in the breakdowns. So for the total number of incidents I’m using the Multiple-Bias count, while for the breakdowns I’m using the Single-Bias ones. The number of incidents categorized as Multiple-Bias has gone up over the years, from initially ~0 to about ~1%, but it’s still pretty small compared to the total.
one of which isn’t in the graphs in the post
Anti-male isn’t in the graph because I’m only graphing the five most common. Looking at the my cleaned data I see 22 anti-male incidents, compared to 1,943 anti-Black, 726 anti-gay, and 485 anti-Hispanic ones.
