Let’s End Hate Crime
6th November 2017 – If you’ve experienced an act of violence or hostility because of who you are or someone thinks you are, you may have been the victim of a hate incident or hate crime. Hate incidents and hate crime happen because of prejudice or hostility based on a person’s disability, race, religion, sexual orientation or transgender identity.
The law considers hate incidents and hate crime to be particularly serious.
