Hate crime

Hate crimes are crimes that are targeted at a person because of their:

  • disability
  • race or ethnicity
  • religion or belief
  • sexual orientation
  • transgender identity

By reporting them when they happen to you, you may be able to prevent these incidents from happening to someone else. You will also help the police understand the extent of hate crime in your local area so they can better respond to it.
