Victims can now report hate crime in confidence via their computers, Hertfordshire Constabulary has announced.
The police have developed the on-line reporting system so that victims can report crimes without leaving their home, or picking up the telephone.
Community safety officer Sue Hobbs said: "People who are surfing the police website can easily find the self-reporting forms on the hate crime information pages.
"If they have experienced problems, or have been the victim of a crime because of who they are or what they believe in, they can report it directly on-line to get help and advice."
The website address is http://www.herts.police.uk, but in an emergency call 999.
