Safer Neighbourhood Team
Due to the recent terror events in Manchester and London, Police have seen an increase in hate crime. Hate crime is not acceptable and will not be tolerated. Please take a moment to read the following about the effects it has on the victim and how to report it.
Hate crime is: Any criminal offence which is perceived by the victim or any other person as being motivated by prejudice or hate based on a person’s (perceived) race, religion, sexual orientation, disability or because they are transgender.
Hate crime can be: Physical violence and assault, verbal abuse, obscene phone calls or texts, offensive mail, email or graffi ti. It can be damage to property, arson, dumping of rubbish, or offensive or dangerous substances posted through letter boxes.
The effect of hate crime on victims: • Feeling isolated and vulnerable • Feeling that your self-respect has been taken away • Feeling embittered anger or frustrated • Having a sense of self-blame • Protecting yourself but fi nding yourself on the wrong side of the law
• Loss of faith in the police/the criminal justice system • Feeling like retaliating but fearing reprisals

• A breakdown in family relationships • Finding it diffi cult to cope • Having a sense of despair • Finding that nobody believes you • Feeling hated by others • Feeling afraid to let your children out • Suffering from emotional/mental stress • Hating your home and wanting to move • Being overcome by panic or anxiety
Why you should report it: Hate crime is rarely a one-off incident, there is usually a small chance of you becoming a repeat victim of a crime. However, victims of a hate crime are more likely to suffer repeated, constant and daily abuse from the same perpetrator(s).
It is good to be a statistic: If victims of hate crime do not report it, government agencies and policy makers will not know the extent of the problem in order to take important steps through legislation, etc, to eliminate it.
Don’t let them get away with it: Hate crime is committed by people who do not care who suffers and to what extent. If they go unchallenged, they will continue to put others in danger. Report it so they can be caught before others suffer.
‘Hate Crime2’ App: Working together to help victims of hate crime, Dorset Police, Borough of Poole and Bournemouth Borough Council have launched a pioneering App for iPhone and Android smartphones, produced to help victims of hate crime.
The App helps the most vulnerable members of society understand how to deal with the traumatic effect of such crimes, why it happens, how to report it and where to seek help and support. The App allows individuals to report in the moment and in the privacy of their own safe environment.
Thank you for helping us keep Dorset Safe.
