<p>The Government takes all forms of hate crime very seriously and deplores all racially
motivated attacks. Crime that is motivated by hostility or hatred towards the victim
is particularly corrosive and can have devastating consequences for victims and their
families.</p><p>In 2012, we published a hate crime action plan and a total of 23 actions
were dedicated to preventing hate crime. This includes work to tackle racist material
on the internet, development of targeted materials to promote community cohesion and
reduce racist attacks, and supporting working groups on anti-Semitism and anti-Muslim
hatred to tackle negative attitudes towards those groups within communities.</p><p>Our
comprehensive new Counter-Extremism strategy, which will set out a range of measures
to identify and defeat extremism in all of its forms, including racial hate crime,
will be published in the summer.</p>
