Who are victims of hate incidents/hate crimes?
Victim(s) of hate incident(s) do not have to be a member of a minority group or someone who is generally considered to be ‘vulnerable’ but anyone associated with or supporting a victim. For example, the friends of a minority ethnic person, a lesbian or gay man or refugee may be victimised because of their association. A white resident victimised because of their race is also a victim of a hate incident. For further information on hate incidents please download the guidance.
