What is a hate crime or hate incident? A hate crime is a criminal act committed against someone based on their race, religion, disability, sexual orientation, gender identity, or any other characteristic that is perceived as different. These crimes are motivated by prejudice, intolerance, or hatred and can have a severe impact on individuals and communities. A hate incident, on the other hand, refers to any non-criminal act that is motivated by hatred or prejudice.

 

At Pennine Mencap, we take hate crimes and hate incidents seriously. As a Third-Party Hate Crime Reporting Centre approved by Greater Manchester Police, we play a crucial role in helping victims report such incidents and provide the necessary support and guidance throughout the process.
