What is a Hate Crime?
Hate crime is a crime that can happen to a person because they are different.

This could be because of their:

1. learning/physical disability
2. race
3. religion
4. sexuality
5. gender
6. some other difference

Hate crimes are acts of violence or hostility. For example, you may have been shouted at by someone in the street because you are disabled.

Mate crimes happen when you are befriended by someone who later takes advantage of you because you are different.
