Welcome to the academic page of the DHC website.

The purpose of this section is to provide an environment where information can be obtained and shared by those interested in learning more about this area of hate crime and furthering our understanding of it's nature, extent, and impact, and of course how to effectively respond to it.
 
With this in mind, this section of the DHC website has the following aims:

1. To further our knowledge and understanding of disability hate crime
2. To develop a database of useful sources of information 
3. To provide a shared learning environment for those with either a particular or a general interest in this area of hate crime
4. To provide opportunities for those working in this field to share their work with others
