Hate crime

Unite against hate logo Hate crime is when people abuse or attack others because of sectarianism, race, disability, faith or sexual orientation.

We've made dealing with hate crime a key priority, as part of our Safer Belfast plan, and we're working with a range of partners to tackle the problem.
