Hate crime in Canada," published Monday by the Canadian Centre for Justice Statistics, states that hate crimes made up only a small proportion of total offences in 2006, accounting for less than 1 per cent of all criminal incidents reported by police.

That year, of the 892 hate-motivated crimes reported by police, six in 10 were motivated by race/ethnicity. image

Another 25 per cent were motivated by religion and 10 per cent by sexual orientation, StatsCan reports.

The highest proportion of hate crimes -- a full half -- were property-related offences, most commonly mischief.

One-third were violent crimes such as assault.
