ONLINE HARASSMENT AND HATE CRIME
133. The prevalence of online harassment and hate crime, particularly among young
people, was repeatedly raised as a significant problem within university
communities. The Taskforce recognises that more work is needed to explore the
nature and scale of this problem as it affects students.
Universities UK should work with relevant bodies such as NUS, Jisc and Reclaim
the Internet to assess what further support may be needed in relation to online
harassment and hate crime.
