Position and Statements on Hate Crime
The impact on a range of services (health, housing, education, social services etc.) and the social and economic cost of hate crimes show that the overall impact of these crimes far exceed that of other high volume crimes such as burglary or vehicle crime. This is one of the many reasons that hate crime receives a different approach than other non hate motivated requests.
High levels of violence and harassment take place as part of hate crimes, often over sustained and prolonged periods of time with long term physical and psychological effects on victims, children and families. For many this abuse may be verbal abuse received on a daily basis, intervention is required at this level before abuse escalates.
We believe that everyone has the right to live without fear of abuse whether verbal, physical or sexual. Individuals are also entitled to live in their homes without fearing damage to their property. We will support victims to report incidents to enable us to gather evidence of abuse and ultimately to allow the courts to prosecute the people responsible.
