A hate crime is alsocommitted when a person commits a specified offense and intentionally commits the act or acts constitutingthe offense in whole or in substantial part because of such belief or perception.For purposes of this definition, specified offenses include the following offenses, or any attempt or conspiracyto commit the following offenses:- assault in the first, second or third degree;- aggravated assault upon a person less than 11 years old;- menacing in the first, second or third degree;- reckless endangerment in the first or second degree;- manslaughter in the first or second degree;- murder in the second degree;- stalking in the first, second, third or fourth degree;- rape in the first degree;- criminal sexual act in the first degree;- sexual abuse in the first degree;- aggravated sexual abuse in the first or second degree;- unlawful imprisonment in the first or second degree;- kidnapping in the first or second degree;- coercion in the first or second degree;- criminal trespass in the first, second or third degree;- burglary in the first or second degree;- criminal mischief in the first, second, third or fourth degree;14
