Read more...Hate crimes and incidents can take many different forms. Even if an incident doesn’t cause physical harm or damage, it doesn’t mean that it is not a crime or that the police and local agencies won’t be interested in knowing about it. Reporting any hate incident can help you get the support you need and help us gather a picture of what is going in an area.
Helping you - It doesn’t matter if the incident is a criminal offence or not, every incident should be reported. The police can only charge and prosecute someone when the law has been broken, but there are other things that can be done to help you deal with the incident and get support.
Helping others - By reporting something when it happens to you, you are also helping to prevent it from happening to someone else.
Helping the community - It’s also important to bear in mind that some hate crimes start as smaller incidents which may escalate into more serious and frequent attacks. So when you report, you help the police and local organisations take action to combat hate crime before it becomes even more serious.
No matter what type of prejudice or abuse suffered, there are many support groups in Warwickshire and nationally who can offer specialist help.
find support todayThe Warwickshire Hate Crime Partnership is made up of local organisations that have a responsibility for community safety. The Partnership includes representatives from a number of statutory, voluntary and community organisations including Warwickshire County Council, Warwickshire Police and Crime Commissioner, Warwickshire Police, Equality & Inclusion Partnership (EQuIP), Nuneaton Borough Council, North Warwickshire Borough Council, Warwick District Council, Stratford District Council, Rugby Borough Council, and Victim Support.
We have recognised that hate crime is under-reported in the county and that improvements are needed to increase confidence in the reporting process and broaden the support on offer to victims.
