What is a hate crime?
A hate crime is any crime which is motivated because of any of the following:
- race
- nationality
- religion or belief
- gender identity
- sexual orientation
- disability whether physical, sensory or mental

It is bullying behaviour and can take many forms from violence to name calling. Hate crime is wrong.

How do you report hate crime?

If you have experienced or witnessed a hate crime you can report it by:

- Using the Suffolk Police online reporting form: https://www.suffolk.police.uk/contact-us/report-something/5-report-it-hate-crime-or-incident

- Calling 101 but if it is an emergency call 999

- Report it anonymously online via the True Vision website: https://www.report-it.org.uk/
