Hate Crime

Hate Incident Monitoring Project

The Hate Incident Monitoring Project has been set up by the County Council with partner agencies across Leicestershire, to encourage victims to speak out.

This new initiative has a wider remit than the previous Racist Incident Common Monitoring Project.

Hate Incidents could be physical, verbal or written abuse. They take many forms but are essentially about someone being targeted because they are believed to be different, because of age, disability, gender identity, race, religion /belief or sexual orientation.

Reporting centres have been set up across the county, to enable people to report hate incidents at a range of locations within the community. These include Leicestershire district and borough councils, Victim Support Leicestershire, Charnwood Racial Equality Council, Leicestershire Connexions and many other partner organisations.

To report a Hate Incident; either as a victim or a witness, please visit the Leicestershire County Council website.
