Reporting Hate Crime in South Lakeland
A hate crime is:
“Any hate incident, which constitutes a
criminal offence, perceived by the victim or any other person, as
being motivated by prejudice or hate”.
A hate crime can be based on any of the
following:

SLDC, in partnership with Cumbria Police, has
opened up its Reception points to enable the general public to
report hate crime incidents anonymously and in confidence.
Through its involvement in this scheme SLDC
demonstrates its policy of zero tolerance to any form of hate crime
in South Lakeland.
