However, he said certain groups saw major spikes based on changing political and social conditions.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"8\"\/>\u201cWhoever is the target of a particular sticky type of stereotype, particularly a fear-inducing one, you&#8217;ll see that particular group spike,\u201d hate crime expert Brian Levin told Axios.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"12\"\/>Despite the overall decline, anti-Sikh hate crimes remained among the most notable increases over the decade, alongside rising incidents targeting Latino and transgender communities.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"14\"\/>Anti-Latino hate crimes rose 18% in 2025 to a record 1,014 incidents, marking the first time the group ranked among the top three most targeted categories in 34 years of FBI data tracking.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"16\"\/>The report also included mixed trends across other categories. Anti-Jewish hate crimes fell 29% in 2025, while anti-transgender hate crimes dipped 6% but remained at historically high levels, nearly double their long-term average.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"20\"\/>Levin said that 2025 was still the fifth-highest year for recorded hate crimes in the FBI\u2019s 34-year dataset. He also said overall hate crimes are up 88% compared with 2015, even though final figures may change as more agencies submit data.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"22\"\/>The FBI\u2019s Crime Data Explorer has paused monthly updates while preparing its annual national report, meaning the current figures are still preliminary.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"25\"\/>Levin added that spikes in hate crimes often follow major events such as elections, international conflicts or terror attacks, and tend not to return to previous lows once they subside. Instead, they settle at higher long-term levels, leaving an elevated baseline of incidents.<\/div>\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/world\/us\/hate-crimes-targeting-sikh-americans-in-us-rose-3700-in-a-decade-fbi-report\/articleshow\/130220497.cms\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hate crimes targeting Sikh Americans in the United States have risen over the past decade,&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":11367,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[27780,27778,27781,27779,27777],"class_list":["post-11366","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized","tag-anti-sikh-incidents-rise","tag-fbi-hate-crime-data","tag-hate-crime-patterns-in-us","tag-hate-crime-trends-2025","tag-sikh-americans-hate-crimes"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/d.sheep-mine.ts.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11366","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/d.sheep-mine.ts.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/d.sheep-mine.ts.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/d.sheep-mine.ts.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/d.sheep-mine.ts.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=11366"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/d.sheep-mine.ts.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11366\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/d.sheep-mine.ts.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/11367"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/d.sheep-mine.ts.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=11366"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/d.sheep-mine.ts.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=11366"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/d.sheep-mine.ts.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=11366"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
