Hate crime
- Hate crime is behaviour that deliberately aims to harm or intimidate a person, usually motivated by prejudice against someone’s race, colour, nationality, ethnic origin, religion, sex, age, disability or sexuality.
Examples of this type of behaviour include verbal abuse, using or threatening violence, using an animal to threaten another person, using abusive, racist or insulting words or behaviour, threatening or abusive letters, phone calls or emails, damage to property, and graffiti motivated by prejudice.
Peabody will take action against anybody who harasses other residents, visitors or our employees and contractors because of their race, colour, religion, sex, sexuality, age, disability or medical condition.
We may take legal action which could lead to the offender losing their home. We will report any criminal act to the police.
To report hate crime, you can either report it online via Tell Peabody or contact Peabody Direct.
