Race Equality First (REF) will be leading the three-year project, based in Wales, on behalf of the Equality and Human Rights Network, in partnership with Cardiff University. It will discover true levels of hate crime and why people don't report it. It also aims to discover the profile of perpetrators and hate crime hotspots. Hate crime survey results indicate that hate crime figures held by the Police and Criminal Prosecution Service do not reflect the true levels of hate crime.
