<p>The Government takes all forms of hate crime very seriously. Crime that is motivated
by hostility or hatred towards the victim is particularly corrosive and can have devastating
consequences for victims and their families. In 2012, we published a hate crime action
plan and a total of 13 actions were dedicated to the prevention of disability hate
crime, including the creation of a new cross government Disability Strategy, the publication
of the Crown Prosecution Service Action Plan on disability hate crime and publishing
examples of good practice by disabled persons’ user-led organisations. The progress
report on the action plan, published in 2014, showed that we had either completed
or made good progress on all actions.</p>
