Question : 107 of 150

Marks: +1, -0

Violence against racial and religious minority groups increased sharply throughout the county last year, despite a slight decline in state wide figures. Compiling incidents from police departments and private watchdog groups, the County Human Relations Committee reported almost 500 hate crimes in the year, up from only 200 last year. It was the first increase since the committee began to report a yearly figure six years ago. The lower state wide figures are probably in error due to underreporting in other counties; underreporting is the major problem that state surveyors face each year. All of the following, if true, would support the conclusion or the explanation of the discrepancy in the state and county figures EXCEPT:

The number of hate crimes and those resulting in fatalities has increased in neighbouring states.
Anti-immigration sentiment was fanned this year by an anti-immigration ballot referendum.
Many law-abiding members of minority groups are fearful or distrustful of the police.
All of the counties in the state have active private watchdog groups that carefully monitor hate crimes.
