Episode notes
Diversity Correlates With Localised Tension
- University of Leicester study shows diversity correlates with frequent reports of targeted hostility in Leicester.
- The report challenges the simple narrative that removing white majorities eliminates hate; perpetrators come from varied backgrounds.
Most Hate Incidents Are Public Verbal Abuse
- The study found most reported incidents were verbal harassment in public spaces rather than property or violent crime.
- Victims reported widespread negative impacts: anxiety, depression, avoidance and reduced quality of life.

- Shared 'core values' are assumed by multiculturalists but may not exist across distinct migrant cultures.
