| Qualitative Info |
The above mentioned police registration system on politically motivated crimes (KPMD-PMK) and, among those, hate crimes, operates with the two subcategories of xenophobic and anti-Semitic crimes. Thus, data are available on all recorded politically motivated hate crimes committed with a xenophobic motivation and an anti-Semitic motivation respectively. However, publicly available data are largely limited to politically motivated right-wing (i.e. extreme right-wing) crimes deemed to be xenophobic or anti-Semitic respectively. These data are also broken down by certain categories of crimes (e.g. violent crimes, propaganda offences).
