Hate crime

Any crime or incident which you think happened because of race, ethnicity, religion or belief, gender identity, sexual orientation or disability is a hate crime. You could also be a victim of hate crime if you believe you are being targeted because the offender perceives you to be different in some way.

Some examples of hate crime are:

  • Physical abuse
  • Intimidation

  • Harassment
  • Cyber-bullying
