Wha's Like Us????

Victim Support Scotland said 5708 charges were made relating to hate crime in Scotland in 2016-17.

Among them were 3349 racial, 673 religious, 1075 LGB, 40 transgender and 188 disability hate crimes.

Victim Support Scotland are also calling for the recognition of hate crimes against the homeless, elderly, asylum seekers and refugees, gypsies and travellers.

The charity who aid victims believe many more go unreported. Now they are calling for action to help those people suffering bigoted abuse in silence
