New report: hate crime in the EU
05/12/2012
A new research from the FRA, the European Agency for Fundamental Rights makes the strong point that discrimination and intolerance persist in the European Union. Verbal abuse, physical attacks and hate crimes target EU society in all its diversity, from visible minorities to those with disabilities, as explained in this FRA video.
The report raises the serious problem that victims and witnesses of hate crimes are reluctant to report them, whether to law enforcement agencies, the criminal justice system, non-governmental organisations or victim support groups. As a result, the authors address the violations of fundamental rights, and propose strategies to encourage victims and witnesses to report crimes and accidents, while increasing their confidence in the judiciar system's ability to fight effectively this type of crime.
