Stop Hate Crime!

Hate should never be tolerated. Everyone has the right to be themselves.

What is Hate Crime?

A Hate Crime is any criminal offence that is motivated by hostility and prejudice towards a person’s identity or perceived identity. The following are the five nationally monitored strands:

  • Disability
  • Race
  • Religion/Faith
  • Sexual Orientation
  • Transgender Identity

Anyone can be affected by Hate Crime. You don’t have to be a member of the group to which the hostility is targeted at.

You don’t have to be gay to have had homophobic abuse shouted at you.

You may not be part of a religion and still have someone target you because they think you are.

Some police forces also record hate incidents based on other personal characteristics such as age or alternative subculture. Alternative subcultures include Goths, Emos, Punks, and other similar groups.

Stop Hate UK monitors beyond the five strands covered by Hate Crime legislation, this includes Gender-based violence, Alternative Subcultures, even Hate against characteristics such as weight and hair colour.

Hate should never be tolerated. Everyone has the right to be themselves. Stop Hate UK is here to support, listen and tackle Hate in all forms.
