The Hate Crime Research Group

The Hate Crime Research Group is an alliance of academics, activists, policy makers at various levels of governance, practitioners, researchers and students. It is committed to engagement with all appropriate statutory and voluntary agencies to achieve a reduction in the social, emotional and cost impacts of hate crime on victims and on wider society by researching and promoting best practice in challenging prejudice and hate.

The group aims to:

• Focus on all types of hate crime victimisation and not any one targeted community
• Stimulate knowledge transfer to enable the exchange of good practice learning and understanding about common problems encountered in tackling hate crime
• Work collaboratively to find and share possible strategies and solutions to the problem of hate crime
• Serve as an independent critical friend to governmental and non-governmental organisations by offering evidence-based analysis and commentary on measures to tackle hate crime
• Provide opportunities for life-long learning through education and training for knowledge transfer for those working against hate crime
• Offer a network of expertise that might provide pro bono support for non-governmental organisations working against hate crime
• Initiate applied research into the problem of hate crime with the aim of finding realistic solutions
