Organized by
During the workshop, representatives of Slovenia’s Ministry of Justice, National Police, and State Prosecutor General’s Office will work alongside ODIHR and FRA experts to review the existing framework, identify gaps, discuss potential solutions and propose steps to improve hate crime recoding and data collection in Slovenia. In doing so, the workshop will strengthen understanding of the need to record hate crimes and produce high quality hate crime data, while raising awareness of the impact of hate crimes on individuals, communities and society.
Background
Hate crime data collection is the first step in efforts to address hate crime. Comprehensive, accurate and reliable data, disaggregated by bias motivation, helps to strengthen understanding of the prevalence and nature of hate crimes, identify specific needs of hate crime victims and develop targeted response.
Through its practical tools and tailored programmes, ODIHR supports OSCE participating States in building and strengthening the policies and capacities of national institutions and other structures to collect data on hate crime.
