Reporting A Homophobic Incident In Notts
If it is an emergency, use 999, otherwise use the 101 number.
If, with your help, the police prosecute the person responsible, it is now possible to prevent your name being revealed through reports of court proceedings. If police action is taken, make sure that you mention the homophobic nature of the offence, as the judge will now take that into account as an “aggravating factor” which should be reflected in a more serious sentence.
If you don’t want to contact the police in person, you can still report incidents anonymously. This can be helpful, as it will provide the police with information that incidents are happening at a particular place/time.
If you need support after being the victim of an incident or while going through court proceedings, Victim Care have specialist Hate crime services ACROSS Nottinghamshire, staffed by caseworkers and supported by specially trained volunteers. We provide one-to-one emotional and practical support for victims who have experienced hate crime, whether or not it has been reported to the police.
