The Home Office has just published a new action plan "Challenge It, Report It, Stop It". The plan is their blueprint to combat hate crime by preventing it happening, increasing its reporting and by working with the agencies within the Criminal Justice System to improve their responses.
Hate crime involves any criminal offence which is perceived, by the victim or any other person, to be motivated by hostility or prejudice based on a personal characteristic. The definition covers five main strands, in particular - disability, gender-identity, race, religion or faith and sexual orientation.
