Analyse the act and alleged motive separately
Defence and victim representation where violence, threats, persecution or another alleged offence includes an intolerance or discriminatory motive.
Violence, threats, harassment or property damage may be reported together with an intolerance allegation. Preserve exact language, timing, audience, prior interactions, victim selection and alternative context without minimising either safety or evidential standards.
Test conduct, motive, context and impact
01
Separate the underlying offence from the alleged motive
02
Preserve words, symbols, communications and surrounding context
03
Protect vulnerable victims and the presumption of innocence
04
Avoid assumptions based solely on association or public controversy
