Greater Manchester's Hate Crime Awareness Week
People living in Greater Manchester are encouraged to look out for each other and to be kind on the eve of this year’s Hate Crime Awareness Week.
Hate crimes are crimes committed against someone because of their race, religion, disability, trans identity or sexual orientation. These are the personal characters currently identified by law, however in Greater Manchester we also record hate crimes against alternative sub-culture.
Crimes of this nature can include verbal abuse, intimidation, threats, harassment, assault, bullying, or damage to property.
