Brandeis Center for Human Rights Under Law, called on the Department of Justice last month to correct the flawed data reported in the FBI\u2019s 2021 hate crime statistics. Marcus claimed that the FBI has made a change in the way it collects hate crime statistics.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn my experience overseeing federal civil rights data collections, congressional committees have historically taken a keen interest in the completeness and accuracy of governmental information provided to the public,\u201d Marcus said <a href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/latest-news\/fbi-says-violence-against-jews-is-in-decline-jews-arent-buying-it\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Washington Free Beacon<\/a> Tuesday \u201cIt is hard to imagine that a failure of this scope would escape the notice of congressional oversight staff.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am hopeful that the Department of Justice and FBI will clean up this mess on their own,\u201d He concluded. \u201cIf DOJ and the FBI do not fix this problem, however, by providing corrected and complete data to the public, we should not be surprised if Congress should get involved.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>According to an FBI spokesperson, recent changes made in the FBI&#8217;s collection of hate crime data have had an effect on the 2021 crime statistics that were published last month. Statistics are missing data from several agencies in the country that reported data in 2020. This would explain at least some of the decline in hate crime reports.<\/p>\n<p>Marcus stated that the 2021 crime statistics are irreparably flawed due to the absence of data.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAt a time of record anti-Semitic hate crimes, it is appalling that the FBI\u2019s data-gathering has been so badly botched. The 2021 hate crimes data is essentially useless,\u201d He said this in a <a href=\"https:\/\/brandeiscenter.com\/brandeis-center-calls-on-fbi-to-correct-erroneous-hate-crimes-data\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">statement<\/a>. \u201cThe problem is so bad that record-high levels of anti-Semitism appear in the official data as actual declines, because major jurisdictions didn\u2019t formally report it. This massive failure has undermined the purposes of hate crimes data precisely when we most need the data. If the FBI doesn\u2019t quickly correct this problem, congressional committees will need to ask some serious questions.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>According to the Anti-Defamation League, Anti-Semitic Attacks and Other Incidents in the U.S. reached a record in 2021. The ADL <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adl.org\/resources\/report\/audit-antisemitic-incidents-2021\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">tallied<\/a> In 2021, there were 2,717 antisemitic incidents across the United States.
