""The disclosure of both sets of numbers will enhance transparency and provide a clearer picture of hate crimes in the city, addressing concerns about the previous reporting method.""
""The prior reporting method was conflicting, wrong and confusing, and did not accurately reflect the reality of hate crimes in New York City.""

Previously, the department only reported confirmed cases, which raised concerns about transparency and the potential misrepresentation of hate crime trends. Experts argued that unconfirmed hate crimes could still be significant. City Council Speaker Julie Menin raised these concerns during a hearing, prompting Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch to defend the new approach as a means to provide meaningful data and improve clarity in reporting.
