Model Guidance on Individual Needs Assessments of Hate Crime Victims
Hate crimes pose a threat to the security of individuals, and, if unaddressed, can give rise to wider scale conflict and violence.
This model guidance provides information on what an Individual Needs Assessment (INA) of hate crime victims entails and how to set up a system in which INAs are both effective in achieving their goals, and sensitive and respectful to the specific needs of the victims. It serves as a tool to guide relevant state institutions, victim support services and civil society organizations working in the field of hate crime victim support in designing, adapting and implementing an effective INA process. The guidance was developed as part of ODIHR's EStAR: Enhancing Hate Crime Victim Support project.
