Hate Crime Survey Results
A hate incident is any incident which is perceived by the victim or any other person to have been motivated by hostility or prejudice towards someone’s race, disability, religion, sexual orientation or transgender identity (or their perceived identity).
A hate crime is defined in the same way but refers to a criminal offence.
In July and September 2011, we attended two events to ask people about their experiences of hate crime – the Cardiff Bay Multicultural Mela and the Cardiff Mardi Gras.
In total, 327 people took part in the survey.
Some of the key results were:

64% of respondents stated they had not been a victim of hate crime, with 36% saying they had.
