Question: What are the U.S. hate crime laws by state?

Answer: Each state has drafted its own provisions for preventing and responding to hate crimes. The ADL (Anti-Defamation League) has created an interactive map of the U.S. and comparison chart to help you identify the hate crime laws in effect within each state.

Visit the ADL site for access to the chart and interactive map.
