Barriers to Reporting Non-recognition of Hate motivation Cultural issues/pressure Ashamed or Embarrassed Sensitive and emotive subject Believe they are to blame Will not be believed Not serious enough Nothing will be done Low chance of a positive outcome Fear of reprisals Not knowing how/where to report Health issues Accessibility difficulties Time/inconvenience Mistrust of Police & other Services Negative experiences of reporting Feeling Mistrust in authorities Fear of court process Normalised to abuse Sense of ‘that’s just how it is’ Secondary Victimisation

Why Is Hate Crime Different To Other Crime? Hate crime is about peoples personal characteristics that they cannot change, causing greater psychological harm. Hate crime is about hostility & prejudice against whole groups of people, not just individuals. Hate crime is often targeted at vulnerable members of society, who may have no voice.
