Abstract: This paper evaluates the relationship between political parties and hate crimes in the US, based on the empirical models, considering a panel data with 47 states from 1997 to 2019. Results show that a Democratic president is correlated with fewer crimes of hate if compared with a Republican. Such a result might occur due to different public policies according to the political party in power. Results also show that Democratic governors have a positive correlation with hate crimes, but further exercises show that this is only true for Southern states. In non-Southern states, Democratic governors are negatively correlated with hate crimes.
