Activities/actions supported
Proposals ae expected to reinforce hate crime training and capacity building for Police Authorities and other relevant security practitioners, in particular to enhance their tools and methods for lawful detection, reporting and data/evidence collection and analysis of hate speech related activities that are considered as crimes or could lead to a crime, notably the ones supported by advanced digital technologies, such as in emerging cyber environments.
Anticipated outcomes

- Providing Police Authorities and other relevant security practitioners with better, modern and validated tools, methods and training curricula to tackle those activities related to hate speech that are considered as crime or could lead to a crime, notably such activities which are supported by advanced digital technologies, such as in emerging cyber environments;
- Developing European common approaches, and making them available to policy-makers and security practitioners, for analysing risks/threats, collecting data on hate speech, collecting court-proof evidence and crime attribution, and identifying and deploying relevant security measures related to hate motivated crime and speech
- Enhancing citizen’s security perception and hate speech prevention by preparing education and training materials on the cultural and societal impacts of hate speech and hate crime.
