Perhaps. It’s important to note that the data here isn’t specific to college crimes though, but crimes across the whole country. COVID likely had a big impact, but murders were up in 2020, so presumably that would impact hate crimes too.
But I’m not a statistician, so I’m not sure how to interpret the data. I just personally don’t see a trend here, just an unfortunate status quo.
I assume this data is affected by the fact that it is harder to commit a hate crime against another over zoom, too.
