Hate crimes and hate incidents are serious issues that affect individuals and communities across California. The California Attorney General provides resources to help the public understand the difference between a hate crime and a hate incident, how to recognize signs of hate-motivated acts, and the steps to report them. Victims have important rights under state law, including access to support services, restitution, and protections for safety and privacy. Community members are encouraged to speak out, build partnerships, and report hate to prevent further harm.
