Hate incidents / crimes are any incident or crime where the perpetrators' prejudice against an identifiable group of people is a factor in determining WHO is victimised. This is a broad and inclusive definition. A victim does not have to be a member of the group, in fact anyone can be a victim of hate crime or incidents. You should report hate crimes to the Police, but sometimes, a victim can feel nervous about doing this.  There are a network of reporting centres across North Yorkshire; in libraries and community buildings, where you can go to report a hate crime anonymously if you wish.  You can also report a crime on line.  More details are available here.
