Reporting incidents of hate crime is incredibly important. By doing so you are effectively enabling the police and relevant associations involved to document patterns of behavior. In doing so you are highlighting areas of concern that aid the greater community. More pressingly, by reporting such incidents you are enabling support networks to provide you with any help you may need. You are also ensuring that offenders can be brought to justice, such that they may not put others through similar turmoil.

Reporting makes a difference…to you, your friends, your community and your life.

The Police and other criminal justice agencies consider all hate crime to be very serious, including racist and religious hate crime. When a case is prosecuted, the courts can impose a stronger sentence under powers from the Criminal Justice Act 2003. This reflects the priority placed on these crimes. The Police have performance targets and measures in place to ensure the service they offer is of the highest standard.
