Incidents: Crimes and Police

incidents: The total number of criminal incidents motivated by hate was 1,362, 67 more than the year before, according to CTV. The number of hate crimes presented in this release likely undercounts the true extent of hate crime in Canada, as not all crimes are reported to police, Statistics Canada said in a note accompanying Tuesday's data release. Hate crimes targeting Muslims rose from 99 incidents in 2014 to 159 incidents in 2015, the agency said. The agency did note that in 2015, police services increased outreach to ethnic groups and, in addition, the National Council of Canadian Muslims made efforts to encourage reporting of hate crimes to police. You can almost immediately see the moment that Mr. A spokesperson for the organization, Amira Elghawaby, said Tuesday that former prime minister Stephen Harper's decision to focus on the use of face coverings at citizenship ceremonies during the 2015 election campaign contributed to discrimination among Muslim women.
