Hate incidents
A hate incident is any targeted act, directed at someone because of who they are or who somebody thinks they are, motivated by the individual’s:
- disability
- gender identity
- race
- religion or belief
- sexual orientation
Within Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland hate incidents and hate crimes are recorded against these five categories, as well as including a category for ‘any other perceived difference’ in order to align with Leicestershire Police’s recording of hate.
If you know of any incident you think is hate related, you should report it.
The difference between a hate crime and a hate incident is explained in the video below.
