ANS: D
Hate crimes are crimes based on an individual's race, sexual orientation, religious beliefs, ethnic background, or national origin. Hate crimes may include rape, sexual or physical assault, harassment, attacks on homes or on places of worship, and vandalism. Because hate crimes attack an individual's identity, the emotional effects are compounded.
