New website
We're currently redeveloping our website so you may see a mix of old and new style pages while we complete this work. We'd love to hear your feedback on the new style.
A hate incident is a non-crime incident but can feel like a crime to those who suffer from an incident like this. Just as a hate crime, it is an incident which is perceived by the victim or anyone else, to be motivated by a hostility or prejudice towards someone for the same reasons as a hate crime.
The Police can only prosecute if the law is broken, but we will all work with partners in the community and with offenders to try and prevent these types of incidents happening.
