Alternative subculture

We will now consider violence against alternative subcultures.

These include:

Goths
Emos
Punks
Metallers

This will enable officers to give more support to victims of anti-punk or anti-Goth crime. But it won’t change punishment for those convicted of such acts, because it has not yet been recognised nationally.

The Sophie Lancaster Foundation

Following the horrific murder of Sophie Lancaster, her family wanted to ensure a lasting legacy to their beautiful, bright creative daughter and so the Sophie Lancaster Foundation was established and it became a registered charity in 2009.
