incidents: Hamilton regularly ranks in that second place spot, in part because of increased reporting here, police say, according to Hamilton Spectator. Hamilton saw 55 hate incidents reported in 2015, at a rate of 9.9 per 100,000 population. This ranking, based on 2015 statistics, is not new. That was down from 82 incidents and a rate of 14.9 in 2014. When Hamilton police present their hate crime statistics to the police board each year, they break them down between actual crimes motivated by hate and non-criminal incidents with hate overtones. Statistics Canada tracks hate crimes differently than internal police statistics, including classifying hate crimes as all police-reported incidents found to have been motivated by hate toward a particular identifiable group.
