What is hate crime?
Any crime or incident which you believe is happening because of race, ethnicity, religion or belief, gender identity, sexual orientation or disability is a hate crime.
You could also be a victim of hate crime if you believe you are being targeted because the offender perceives you to be different in some way.
Support to Report
Third-party hate crime reporting centres are places you can go to report hate crime, without having to go to a police station or contact the police directly. They will make a crime report on your behalf, even if you want to do so anonymously.
Support to Report Centres is third party reporting centres that have achieved an accredited level of service delivery by the Police and Crime Commissioner for Lancashire.
