Crimes against Black people in California were again the most prevalent among hate crimes in 2021, climbing 13% from 2020, the state's attorney general said. Hate crimes in the state shot up 33%, the highest since after the 9/11 terrorist attacks in 2001.
Video of attacks involving Asian American victims, particularly seniors, went viral last year with San Francisco police in January reporting an astonishingfrom the previous year. The initial count showed 60 victims in 2021, up from nine in 2020. Half of last year’s victims were allegedly targeted by one man. Still not all criminal attacks carry a hate crime charge since prosecutors need to prove the suspect was motivated by bias.
In San Francisco, the 2021 death of an 84-year-old Thai grandfather is headed to trial although the district attorney’s office has not filed hate crime charges in that case. Officials say reported hate crime statistics may be far lower than actual numbers, but add they’ve taken steps to encourage reporting by victims. Nationally, hate crimes rose to the highest level in more than a decade in 2019,The 1,763 hate crimes reported in 2021 in California is the highest since 2001, when 2,261 hate crimes were reported.
Community leaders who joined Bonta at Tuesday’s press conference urged people to report crimes and to seek resources such as mental health services. Cirian Villavicencio, commissioner with the California Commission on Asian and Pacific Islander American Affairs, said hateful attacks against the Asian American and Pacific Islander community are not new.
