Hate Crimes Map

A map visualizing hate crime data from around the world. The design is intentionally inspired by pandemic tracking dashboards (like the Johns Hopkins COVID-19 map) - dark background, red circles that grow with the number of incidents. Hate crimes spread through communities like a disease, and we wanted that parallel to be visible.

Data

Data comes from the ODIHR Hate Crime Reporting database. If it's outdated, feel free to update it: convert the .xlsx to .json and drop it in /public/data/hcrw_incidents_all-report.json.

Important: This data only covers OSCE member states, and reporting varies wildly between countries. Many hate crimes go unreported. Take the numbers with a grain of salt.

This project is not affiliated with OSCE or ODIHR.
