This subgroup of Wyre Community Safety Partnership brings together key agencies across Wyre to work together to eradicate Hate crime.
Visit our Hate Crime Reporting pages for more information and an online self-reporting form.
Hate crime is defined as:
the violence of intolerance and bigotry intended to hurt and intimidate someone because of their race, ethnicity, national origin, religion, sexual orientation or disability
Hate crime can have a devastating effect on the quality of life of its victims, those who fear becoming victims and the community. Hate crime victims feel the added trauma of knowing that the perpetrator's motivation is an impersonal, group hatred, relating to some feature that they share with others. A crime that might normally have a minor impact becomes, with the hate element, a very intimate and hurtful attack that can undermine the victim's quality of life.
This impact is amplified further because hate crime is one of the most underreported categories of incident. An offender can often keep the same victim or group of victims locked in isolation and fear by keeping the extent of each attack at a level where it is unlikely to be reported.
You can report hate crime or a hate incident anonymously and without police involvement. Report it online using our Hate Crime Report Form
