DescriptionHate crimes tabulates all offenses classified as likely hate crimes by law enforcement agencies. ICJIA uses the latest data published in Crime in Illinois by the Illinois State Police and the latest population estimates are sourced from Center for Disease Control / U.S. Census Bureau Bridged Race Population Estimates ( https://wonder.cdc.gov/bridged-race-population.html )
Notes
- Counties may not add up to the state total if the state total was updated in a later edition of Crime in Illinois.
- Calhoun, Hamilton, and Pope UCR data are unavailable for some years after 2010.
- The Illinois State Police publishes I-UCR data for each year twice, for example I-UCR statistics are published as 2018-2017 and 2019-2018. In such cases the later published numbers contain minor revisions to numbers. ICJIA policy is to update to the most recent published version of this data when available, such that numbers for 2018 reflect the data published alongside the initial release of 2019 data.
