Does this control for any changes in reporting? In the UK we have seen a recent spike, but this is because police are now required to check for any hate crime elements when dealing with someone it could apply to, rather than people volunteering the information.
No, this is the stats directly from the FBI reports

I think this hasn’t changed in the US over this period, but I don’t know. If there has been a substantial change it would mean comparing across years wouldn’t be very meaningful.
I think it’s possible that the initial years in the US saw some increase because getting the system of passing information from the police to the federal government took some time?
