Hate crime victims have been told they shouldnt suffer in silence as part of a raft of recommendations which could transform the way hate crime is handled in Lancashire. Lancashire County Council and the countys Police and Crime Commissioner have today joined forces – backed by Lancashire Constabulary – to launch a new report into hate crime. The research, from Lancaster University professor Dr Paul Iganski , shows many victims of hate crime in Lancashire are suffering in silence, and incidents go unreported. And, as a result, a raft of recommendations are set to go before Lancashires Strategic Hate Crime Group aimed at ensuring victims have the confidence to come forward, report their experiences and know they will be listened to. lancashire-pcc.gov.uk/News-and-Events/News-Archive/2014/Commissioner-backs-hate-crime-report.aspx
