Explained in plain English

How many hate crimes go unpunished?

The story reports 146,825 hate crimes, but this is the number recorded by police, not convictions. Many reported hate crimes don't lead to charges or convictions, with some estimates suggesting a significant proportion are not prosecuted. This means the actual number of people held accountable is much lower than the reported incidents.
