Hate Crime Strategy 2009-14

Consultation Overview

Safer Bristol is committed to improving the quality of life for hate crime victims in Bristol and to encourage people to treat each other with respect and consideration.  A new draft Hate Crime Strategy has been written by the Safer Bristol Partnership. The term ‘hate crime’ refers to any incident, which is perceived by the victim or any other person as being motivated by prejudice or hate.

We are interested in your views on the strategy’s 6 aims and 13 objectives and any comments on the strategy as a whole.

Why We Are Consulting

We want to:

  • improve statutory, voluntary and community service providers’ responses to hate crime
  • prevent hate crime
  • increase the reporting of hate crime
  • increase the number of offenders brought to justice
  • improve victim safety
  • reduce the tolerance of hate crime

We want to find out about your experiences.  If you have experienced a hate crime/ incident, but have not reported it, could you tell us why? If you have experienced a hate crime/ incident, and reported it, could you tell us about how and where you reported the incident and whether you were satisfied with the response?
