Abstract
This chapter is framed around three key barriers which victims face in relation to accessing justice and support. This chapter highlights problems associated with levels of awareness and confidence amongst hate crime victims; with the appropriateness and effectiveness of existing criminal justice interventions; and with knowledge and uptake of support services. It demonstrates that there is no ‘one-size fits all’ approach to delivering support to hate crime victims.
