Rising Hate Crime

The Report

Available for over a year

Simon Cox looks into statistics which indicate a rise in hate crime and asks what they tell us about the world we live in. Are we a more hateful society or have community relations improved? And can branding perpetrators 'haters' entrench prejudice? Simon travels to Liverpool, where homophobic hate crime appears to be increasing, and Leicester, where Fiona Pilkington and her daughter were victims of hate crime which went unacknowledged.
