A hate crime is when a person or people harm you or your property because you are different.
This may be because you:
· have a disability
· come from a minority race
· have a different religion
· are gay or a lesbian
· are transgender
Hate crime can take many forms including:
· physical attacks - such as assault, damage to property, offensive graffiti
· threat of attack - including offensive letters and texts, abusive or obscene telephone calls or groups hanging around to intimidate
· verbal abuse or insults - offensive leaflets and posters, abusive gestures and bullying at school
Hate Crime does not belong in our communities. If you experience it, or witness it you should report it.
