Hate Crime in Canada
Hate Crime in Canada
Currently, no standard definition of hate crime exists for Canadian police, government, academia, non-government organizations, or the community. Identifying and defining hate crime is often varied, done unilaterally and occurs in isolation. The hate crime definition we advocate for is:
A hate crime is a criminal offence committed against a person or property, which is motivated, in whole or in part, by the suspect's hate, bias, or prejudice towards an identifiable group based on, real or perceived race, national or ethnic origin, language, color, religion, sex, age, mental or physical disability, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, or any other similar factor. Examples include mischief, assault, uttering threats, criminal harassment, arson, murder.
