creating communities to be proud of
hate crime...so do we
Humberside Police and the council’s Safer and Stronger Communities Partnership are reaching out to victims of hate crime.
The Hate crime... so do we scheme was launched in June and aims to encourage the reporting of hate incidents and hate crimes through a variety of convenient reporting methods that the community will feel comfortable using.
Hate crime and incidents, which may or may not constitute a criminal offence, can be committed against a person or their property.
They are motivated, or perceived to be motivated, by the offender’s hatred of someone because of their:
- Race, colour, ethnic origin, nationality, or national origins
- Religion
- Gender identity
- Sexual orientation
- Age
- Disability
Consultation events have taken place and the community has worked with the police to create the scheme and the name Hate crime... so do we was selected after being submitted by a member of the Hull Muslim Youth Group, Jay Choudhury.
Hate crimes and incidents, can include:
- Physical attacks such as physical assault, damage to property, offensive graffiti, neighbour disputes, and arson;
- Threat of attack including offensive letters, abusive or obscene telephone calls, groups hanging around to intimidate, and unfounded, malicious complaints;
- Verbal abuse or insults such as offensive leaflets and posters, abusive gestures, dumping of rubbish outside homes or through letterboxes, and bullying at school or in the workplace.
