“Check if you’ve experienced a hate crime or hate incident

If you’ve experienced a crime, it’s also a hate crime if you think the person’s behaviour was motivated by prejudice against you:

because of your race or religion
because of your sexuality
because you’re disabled
because you’re transgender…”
