Abstract

The paper aims to explore the existence of a potential correlation between certain types of hate crimes on particular grounds with the geographical location of the municipalities throughout the Republic of North Macedonia. Namely, there is a perception that certain types of hate crimes are predominantly occurring and are typical for certain municipalities in the country. Thus, the paper will use ‘geovisiualization’ of hate crimes, mapping them and their features on variety of grounds that consequently can have a serious impact on the prevention of these crimes locally. If there is a pattern of hate crimes connected with the geographic location and positioning of the municipalities, then this pattern can contribute to developing a strategic plans for prevention. The text uses results from research and surveys as an illustration of trends and patterns in the period from 2016 to 2020 in order to ‘visualize’ the geographic distribution and rate of hate crimes in North Macedonia and is based on a desk-research methodology.
