We’re waiting for a new Petitions Committee
Petitions had to stop because of the recent general election. Once a new Petitions Committee is set up by the House of Commons, petitions will start again.

Closed petition Introduce a mandatory Hate Crimes Awareness Course for Hate Crime Offenders
Speed Awareness Courses for first time road offenders have proven to educate offenders on road safety and decrease the amount of offences.
How about we do the same for Hate Crime? First time Hate Crime offenders should have the opportunity to educate themselves on their offence.
More details
I believe a mandatory education would do more to help educate the offender. This could overall decrease the amount of hate crime within the UK.
The course would be in the same format as Speed Awareness courses.
The course would include all aspects of hate crime that is motivated by prejudice on the basis of race, religion, sexual orientation, disability, or other grounds.
This may help to break down bias that cause Hate Crime.
