Social Exclusion

The risk of racist crime increases with social exclusion and low income: people living in poorer areas tend to be more at risk than people living in more affluent areas. But racist incidents can happen anywhere. Support for victims should be available throughout an area irrespective of the socio-demographic backgound.
