Muslims Accounting: Crime Incidents and Stats Canada

muslims accounting: Hate crimes targeting black people accounted for 16 per cent of all hate crimes in Canada in 2017, according to CTV. They stayed the most common type of race- or ethnicity-related hate crime. According to data from Stats Canada released Thursday, police-reported hate crime increased sharply in 2017 with incidents targeting blacks, Jews and Muslims accounting for most of the national increases. Incidents involving Muslims more than doubled between 2016 and 2017, one year after police reported a decrease in hate crimes targeting that population. Data for Windsor, Lakeshore, Tecumseh, LaSalle and Amherstburg shows 19 hate crime incidents investigated by police last year, compared to 10 in 2016 per 100,000 population. Hate crimes targeting Jews increased for the second consecutive year and accounted for 18 per cent of all hate crimes nationally. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
