The Law Commission sought arguments and evidence that crimes against older people could be considered hate crimes. This document provides a substantial body of evidence demonstrating the prevalence, types, circumstances and severity of such crimes. Additionally, it challenges the arguments against such action and demonstrates the similarity between age and other types of hate crime, including multiple and intersecting disadvantages.
We believe that this evidence is sufficient to show justification for the inclusion of age as an aggravated offence and thus to be included within any revised legislation on Hate Crime. We trust that this will be of assistance to the Commission in its deliberations on these matters. This is a submission to the Law Commission consultation on 'Hate Crime', relating to the situation experienced by older people. This has been compiled by an expert group, the membership of which has been listed in the opening pages of the submission including Care Campaign for the Vulnerable. We would like to thank Gary Fitzgerald, former CEO of Action on Elder Abuse
