  • 1 The aggregate of offenses by the known offender's ethnicity does not equal the aggregate of offenses by the known offender's race because not all law enforcement agencies that report offender race data also report offender ethnicity data.
  • 2 A multiple-bias incident is an incident in which one or more offense types are motivated by two or more biases.
