According to the Utah Department of Public Safety, hate crimes have been on the rise across the state this year.
TAYLORSVILLE, Utah — It happens every year, when rainbow flags are put out across the state for Pride month.
Data provided to FOX 13 News ahead of a Thursday public release shows the agency verified 96 hate crimes in 2021 across the state. Most of those were vandalisms and simple assaults, the agency's Bureau of Criminal Identification said. Biesinger said 2021 provides the clearest picture yet of hate crimes in Utah. But it still depends on people reporting crimes to law enforcement. There are signs community members are more willing to report them.
DPS publicizes the data in an online dashboard. The agency also verified some of its 2021 numbers to FOX 13 News on Wednesday as police agencies across Utah clarified whether they were hate crimes. Based on the information, incidents targeting LGBTQ people were the top reported hate crimes , followed by 13 incidents targeting Hispanic or Latino people and nine targeting Black people. DPS also registers whether incidents target a specific religious group .
