According to the UK Green Party website the Green Party will try to achieve the following if they gain power at the 2010 general election:
CJ350 In a just society everyone should be protected from crimes motivated by hatred and discrimination based on race, colour, gender, sexual orientation, religion, social origin, age or any other prejudice.
A comprehensive strategy will be adopted to tackle, significantly reduce and ultimately end hate crime. This will combine appropriate legislation, police and community resourcing and initiatives, and sentencing.
Its effectiveness will be monitored and adjusted as necessary, in consultation with relevant non-government and civil society organisations and the equalities commissions.
I would be interested to hear both positive and negative views on UK Green Party’s Hate Crime policies in the comments below?
