Northumbria Police - Language free - Hate crime

Northumbria Police has produced its first ever package of short films, posters and leaflets without the use of any language or text.

The specialist Language-Free Crime Prevention package of information is aimed at migrant communities and people whose first language is not English.

It focuses on eight key topic areas - anti-social behaviour, knife crime, hate crime, suspicious behaviour leading onto more series crime such as terrorism, violent crime, internet safety, alcohol leading to vulnerability and driving in the UK.

Some of the messages are informative such as you need a driving licence, MOT certificate and insurance to drive legally in the UK, others more complex, eg simple arguments can quickly escalate into more violent incidents, walk away and call police.

With the help of funding from the Migration Impact Fund, design agency Beacon Creative, based in Gateshead and Newcastles Superkrush Films worked with Northumbria Police to produce the package.
