Hate Crimes
The University of Arkansas Medical Sciences strives to provide a safe and healthy learning environment that embraces a culture of professionalism with respect for the dignity of all persons, honoring the unique contributions provided by a diversity of perspectives and cultures. The Hate Crime statistics are separated by category of prejudice. The numbers for most of the specific crime categories are part of the overall statistics reported for each year. The only exception to this are the addition of Simple Assault, Intimidation, and any other crime that involves bodily injury that are not already included in the required reporting categories. If a Hate Crime occurs where there is an incident involving, intimidation, vandalism,
Larceny, Simple Assault or other bodily injury, the law requires that the statistic be reported as a hate crime even though there is no requirement to report the crime classification in any other area of compliance document. Note: A hate crime or bias related crime is not a separate, distinct crime, but is the commission of a criminal offense which was motivated by the offender’s bias. For example, a subject assaults a victim, which is a crime. If the facts in the case indicate that the offender was motivated to commit the offense because of his/her bias against the victims race, sexual orientation, gender, religion, ethnicity, or disability, the assault is then also classified as a hate/bias crime.
