Hatecrime is crime which is targeted at a person because of

  • Disability
  • Race or ethnicity
  • Age
  • Gender (including transgender)
  • Religion or belief
  • Sexual orientation

Many local voluntary and community sector groups are involved in raising awareness of hatecrime, seeking to prevent it and supporting the victims of hatecrime.
