Closed Introduce a mandatory Hate Crimes Awareness Course for Hate Crime Offenders

Closed on

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.

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.
