This ensures that similar events will be classified using a standard procedure. The glossary definition for each crime indicates the major characteristics required to be so classified. If an event can be classified as more than one type of crime, a hierarchy is used that classifies the crime according to the most serious event that occurred. The hierarchy from highest to lowest is rape, sexual assault, robbery, assault, burglary/trespassing, motor vehicle theft, and theft.</p></div> </div> </div> </div> </article> </div> <div class="views-row"> <article class="listing-item listing-item--glossary listing-item-row"> <div class="listing-item__content_wrapper"> <h3 class="listing-item__title"> <span class="field field--name-title field--type-string field--label-hidden">Hate crime victimization</span> </h3> <div class="listing-item__wrapper"> <div class="listing-item__content"> <div class="use-float-friendly-lists clearfix text-formatted field field--name-body field--type-text-with-summary field--label-hidden field__item">Refers to a single victim or household that experienced a criminal incident believed by the victim to be motivated by prejudice based on race, gender or gender identity, religion, disability, sexual orientation, or ethnicity.
