Hate Crime is rising nationally – together we can stop it

Published on 8 May, 2024

Tackling hate crime matters, not just because of the devastating consequences it can have for victims and their families, but also because it can divide communities.

Hate crime is motivated by hostility and prejudice towards a person’s identity or perceived identity, and often goes unreported.

Although we are not seeing a rise in hate crime in Dorset, we can’t afford to be complacent around such an important issue and we have an opportunity to join together to prevent hate crime from happening in Dorset.

Join us to share your insights on how local communities can come together to inform important work to spread understanding and respect to everyone.
