Hate crimes are crimes targeted at a person because of hostility or prejudice toward that person’s:
- disability
- race or ethnicity
- religion or belief
- sexual orientation
- transgender identity
These types of crime can be committed against people or property and a victim doesn’t have to be a member of the group that the hostility is aimed at. Hate crimes where the law has been broken should be reported to the police.
