Hate
crime is
defined as
"Any hate
incident,
which
constitutes a
criminal
offence,
perceived by
the victim or
any other
person, as
being
motivated by
prejudice or
hate."
Dorset
Race Equality
Council is a
third party
reporting
centre; which
means that we
can record and
report
incidents
including
racist
incidents on
your behalf to
the police. We
recognise that
many people
within
minority
communities
are fearful or
mistrustful of
approaching
the police
directly.
Third party
reporting is
an important
way to
overcome this.
The police are
then required
to act on this
as if they had
received the
report
directly.
If
you are a
victim or have
witnessed an
incident and
you would
prefer to
report to a
person and
don't want to
got to the
police then
you can
contact us and
we can help.
Don't
suffer in
silence,
report Hate
Crime/Incidents
to help inform
the police
about what is
happening on
our
streets.

 Is
this
a first
step towards
dealing with
hate speech
websites and
similar
on-line
content?
"People are
entitled to
hold racist
and extreme
opinions which
others may
find offensive
and obnoxious.
What they are
not entitled
to do is to
publish or
distribute
those opinions
to the public
in a
threatening,
abusive or
insulting
manner either
intending to
stir up racial
hatred or in
circumstances
where it is
likely racial
hatred will be
stirred up."
