A crime or an incident that is perceived by the victim or any other person as being motivated by prejudice or hatred based on someone’s:
race, colour or ethnic origin
nationality or national origin
religion, faith or belief
gender or gender identity
sexuality or sexual orientation
disability
lifestyle or dress
Hate incidents can take many forms including:
physical attacks
threat of attack
verbal abuse or insults – including bullying
An incident doesn’t have to include violence for you to report it. Verbal abuse, threats or victimisation can be just as distressing and are taken just as seriously.
A hate crime reporting centre is based in the community and allows you to report crimes without having to go directly the police station
Victims can remain anonymous if they wish
Some people may be concerned about going to the police themselves or lack the confidence to do so. A trained member of staff at the Reporting Centre can offer some support, such as providing a Safe Space to talk about what has happened and will make a referral on line with the victim and forward it to the local police division for allocation.
