The Disability Hate Crime Network has published a new report attempting to identify why people commit hate crime. The report pinpoints among other things:
- That many who commit hate crime identify disabled people as scroungers
- The role of the media in demonising disabled people
- People commit hate crimes because it is easy to get away with them
View the summary of key findings from the disability hate crime motivation survey created by Katharine Quarmby, which has been published in the Guardian.
