About This Project

Project Purpose

This project aims to visualize hate crime data to bring visibility to crimes that are often invisible or normalized by society. By making this data accessible and visual, we hope to raise awareness and contribute to a better understanding of these issues.

Data Source

The data displayed on this map comes from the OSCE (Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe) Hate Crime Database. You can find the original data at: hatecrime.osce.org/hate-crime-data

Data Interpretation Notice

Please note that this data should be interpreted with caution. The data only includes participating OSCE member states and the number and nature of reported hate crimes can vary significantly between countries due to:

  • Limited geographical coverage (OSCE participating states only)
  • Varying levels of freedom of expression
  • Different reporting mechanisms and practices
  • Cultural and social factors affecting reporting
In this regard, ODIHR observes that many gaps remain in the prosecution of hate crimes. Incomplete or inadequate legislation is a major obstacle for prosecutors, and means that some hate crimes are not investigated as such or are incorrectly prosecuted as "hate speech" offences. This can render hate crimes invisible, leaving victims without support or access to their rights and leading to misinformed policy and legal responses
