The States of Jersey Police are launching a three week hate crime campaign.

The aim is to increase awareness and encourage victims to come forward.

The campaign has been developed with community groups and includes Jersey victims and community leaders sharing their experiences of hate crime in the Island.

In launching this campaign, we want to encourage victims in Jersey to come forward to report incidents of hate crime. Acting Inspector Manny De Freitas from States of Jersey Police

Hate crime is criminal behaviour motivated by hostility to the victim's disability, race, religion, sexual orientation or transgender identity.

This campaign, fully supported by the Community Advisory Group, invites us all to recognise hate crime and to play our part working in partnership with the Police to stand against it. Jim Hopley, Chairman of the Community Advisory Group,
