All seven cases occurred in the downtown area. During November, seven of 13 reported bias crimes were documented under the “sexual ori entation” category. Four crimes were committed because of race, one because of religion and one because of color. During the same month in 1999, only one crime related to sexual orienta tion was reported to police. Only race exceeds sexual orientation in bias crime reporting during 2000. Through November, 55 incidents related to sexual ori entation had been reported, accounting for about 27 percent of all bias crimes. During 1999, a total of 38 sexual orientation-related bias crimes were reported for the entire year; 1998 had only 32. According to newly released statistics, Multnomah County accounted for almost half of all crimes motivated by prejudice in Oregon during 1999. For more information call Capt.
