Using 1992–2014 data from the National Incident-Based Reporting System (NIBRS), the present study examines the nature and characteristics of hate crimes against Asian Americans by comparing them with those of hate crimes against African Americans and Hispanics. Minority-general and minority-specific models are proposed to guide the analysis. The findings are mixed. The analyses of all victim-related and most offender-related variables show similarities of hate crimes against Asian Americans to those against African Americans and Hispanics. These findings provide support for the minority-general model. Offenders’ race and all incident-related variables of hate crimes against Asian Americans, however, differ significantly from those of hate crimes against African Americans and Hispanics. These significant differences provide support for the minority-specific model.

本研究使用来自国家事件报告系统 (NIBRS) 的 1992-2014 年数据，通过将针对亚裔美国人的仇恨犯罪与针对非裔美国人和西班牙裔的仇恨犯罪进行比较，检验了针对亚裔美国人的仇恨犯罪的性质和特征。提出了少数族裔一般模型和少数族裔特定模型来指导分析。调查结果好坏参半。对所有受害者相关变量和大多数罪犯相关变量的分析表明，针对亚裔美国人的仇恨犯罪与针对非裔美国人和西班牙裔的仇恨犯罪有相似之处。这些发现为少数一般模型提供了支持。然而，针对亚裔美国人的仇恨犯罪的犯罪者种族和所有与事件相关的变量与针对非裔美国人和西班牙裔的仇恨犯罪的变量显着不同。
