Bullying is un hate crime no matter what way you look at it or who commits it, young adults or grown ups.
Hateful acts against another person because of their race, langauage, faith or opinion, upbringing or lifestyle are always wrong. They ARE a crime and should be addressed as such.
Here are some thoughtful takes on the subject from practitioners around the world.

We are pleased and proud to inform that after over two years of relentless advocacy by Pro Igual´s team, the Valencia police signed a formal agreement with the OSCE to start police training on hate crimes within the TACHLE program.
We believe this will be a major step towards practical implementation of rights of victims of #hatecrimes, who overwhelmingly tend to be from the most vulnerable groups: minorías, immigrants, undocumented persons, and so forth.
We also hope this pilot will be replicated across Spain and will continue working towards this goal.
