Abstract: This chapter examines the relationship between criminal justice agencies and civil society in efforts to combat hate crime. It notes the difficulties faced and co-operation required in attempts to recognise the rights of hate crime victims. This involves an analysis of the work being done at a European level to encourage the involvement of civil society experts and how this might lead to better recording of hate crimes. As such this has meant a recognition of the unique knowledge and expertise that civil society organisations possess and how this can be effectively utilised.
