What is a hate crime?
Hate crimes are any crimes that are targeted at a person because of hostility or prejudice towards that person’s:
They can be committed against a person or property. A victim does not have to be a member of the group at which the hostility is targeted. In fact, anyone could be a victim of a hate crime.
What is a hate incident?
Hate Incidents can feel like crimes to those who suffer them and often escalate to crimes or tension in a community.
For this reason, the police are concerned about hate incidents, and you can use the True Vision website to report non-crime hate incidents.
The police can only prosecute when the law is broken but can work with partners to try and prevent any escalation in seriousness.
Why should I report hate crime?
Hate crimes and incidents hurt; they can be confusing and frightening.
By reporting them when they happen to you, you may be able to prevent these incidents from happening to someone else. You will also help the police understand the extent of hate crime in your local area so they can better respond to it.
Reporting makes a difference - to you, your friends, and your life.

The True Vision online reporting facility below has been developed so that you can report hate crimes online if you do not want to report directly to the police.
The police take hate crime very seriously and will record and investigate this offence even if you do not want to give your details. However, you must note that the investigation and ability to prosecute the offender(s) is severely limited if the police cannot contact you.
You may also specify how you want to be contacted and if contacting you would cause you any difficulties. The police will not pass on your details without your consent and would ask you to consider giving your details confidentially.
To report a hate crime - please select the county/area where the crime happened from the drop-down list below and you will be taken to the correct reporting form.
