New strategy for tackling hate crime in Warwickshire is launched

Communities affected by Hate Crime in the county are to benefit from the launch of a new strategy for tackling hate crime in Warwickshire.

The strategy has been launched by the Warwickshire Hate Crime Partnership, which is reminding residents that they can report Hate Crime online at www.reporthatenow.com.

Hate Crime is any criminal offence which is perceived, by the victim or any other person, to be motivated by a hostility or prejudice, based upon one or more identifying factors.

The Strategy for Tackling Hate Crime focuses on how Warwickshire’s Multi-Agency Hate Crime Partnership can work together with communities affected by Hate Crime in the county.
