Which of the following crimes is typically NOT included in the assessment of hate crimes?

Hate crimes are generally defined as criminal acts that are motivated, in whole or in part, by bias against particular characteristics such as race, ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, disability, or gender identity. The classification of hate crimes is primarily focused on violent or property crimes that carry significant societal ramifications due to the bias motivation.

Burglary, while a serious crime, does not inherently involve bias against any protected groups. It is primarily defined as the unlawful entry into a building with intent to commit a crime, which is not necessarily connected to animus towards a particular group. In contrast, offenses like simple assault, vandalism, and other actions can directly reflect bias when targeted at individuals or groups based on their identity.

Therefore, burglary is typically not categorized as a hate crime because it lacks the necessary motivation tied to bias against a specific group, making it distinct from other offenses that can be classified as hate crimes.
