I would imagine that's mainly because more things are now defined as 'hate crime'. Calling somebody a fat useless *cough* at one time sometimes led to a smack in the mouth, now it gets you a criminal record. I guess it's an improvement in social equality, but also takes police time away from 'real' crime investigation.
Good effect, bad effect
