Emo / Goth Hate Crimes (1 Viewer)

[pete]

A police force has begun recording attacks on members of subcultures, such as goths and emos, as hate crimes.

Greater Manchester Police (GMP) is the first force in the UK to treat the offences in such a way.

Previously hate crimes were only registered for offences against race, religion, disability, sexual orientation or transgender identity.

GMP has worked with a charity set up following the murder of 20-year-old goth Sophie Lancaster in 2007.

I once worked with a goth. This one time one of the big bosses was over from America and he made a comment to us about how great it was that all the different ethnic groups mixed so well. The Indian lads, the Spanish, the French, and the goth (who he named by name as opposed to using the word 'goth'). She was from Dublin. Oh how we laughed.

Visigoths, the Ostrogoths and any other sort of Goths!
