What is hate crime?
Hate crime is a crime that has been committed against someone because of their:
Race;
Religion;
Sexual orientation;
Disability;
Transgender identity
These are called protected characteristics. You can experience Hate crime based on one or more of the above, or if you have been perceived to have one or more of these protected characteristics.
Impact of Hate Crime
If you have been a victim of hate crime you may feel many emotions that you are not sure how to deal with.
These could be:
Emotional – Uncontrollable crying, agitation, restlessness, shame, fear, nightmares, numbness, guilt, frustration and hopelessness
Behavioural – deterioration in personal relationships, paranoid-like guardedness, avoidance, isolation, detachment and loss of identity.
You may also have physical injuries or financial losses as a result of the crime. For example, there may have been an assault, or your property may have been damaged.
