Lisburn police spread the message that Northern Ireland is no place for hate
During Hate Crime Awareness Week, which runs until October 15, the Lisburn City Neighbourhood Policing Team has out and about in the local communities speaking to those affected and to spread the message that Northern Ireland is no place for hate.
A hate crime or incident can involve people being targeted based on their disability, gender identity, race, religion and sexual orientation. It can take many forms such as physical and verbal attacks, vandalism, graffiti, online abuse and threatening behaviours.
This week the Police Service have been sharing messages across their social media channels to educate the public on how to recognise Hate Crime so we can all play a part in challenging and stopping it.
If you have been a victim of a hate crime please contact the Police by calling 101. If you have any information in relation to a Hate Crime you can call Crimestoppers completely anonymously on 0800 555 111.
