Mid-Dlam ghad-Dawl participates in AGIS EU project

2004-2006

CLOSED

Mid-Dlam ghad-Dawl was one of the partners in a European Union AGIS project on reducing hate crime in Europe.

AIM & TASKS

The main aim of the project was to assess the local environment of the partners' countries in relation to hate crime, and review the services offered both to hate offenders and hate victims.

Each partner provided detailed known information of hate incidence in each participant country for comparative analysis.

OUTCOMES

The project was intended to have two main outcomes. First, a survey was made in each participant country so as to gauge the exact prevalence of racist and religious hate crime.

Secondly, a platform was built up on the world wide web to pool information and ideas for reducing hate crime in the participant countries and in Europe.
