I often get asked 'What is a hate crime?'

👇

A hate crime is ANY criminal offence which is perceived by the victim or any other person, to be motivated by hostility or prejudice towards a person based on their race, religion, sexual orientation, disability or gender identity

@baggiedave70 2497 was the number through the turnstiles given to me by Southampton.

Either way... fantastic support who were loud throughout.

[Stuart Ward @Stuart_Ward2]

Just under 2500 albion fans that travelled yesterday.

Good to see and speak to some of you, even though the result was disappointing.

Enjoy your weekend

@le_lebouf76 🤣🤣🤣. Imagine the pictures of that...

Great noise from Albion though. Loudest so far this season.

[Wolves @Wolves]

Wolves have thanked @WMPolice, security staff, stewards, supporters and @rioferdy5 for the joint effort which has led to the conviction of an individual who made racist gestures towards the former player and pundit.

[PSUK Police Football @PolicePsuk]

@rioferdy5 @WMPolice Great to see PSUK player @Stuart_Ward2 doing a fantastic job 💙

[Rio Ferdinand @rioferdy5]

I’ve been involved in a Court case at Wolverhampton since MAY 2021, today the guy who racially abused me has been found GUILTY & will now have to face consequences for his actions.

Racism will only be eradicated when we all work together as a society!

The prosecution wouldn’t have been possible without all the help/support from the witnesses, @Wolves fans & staff that came forward to testify in court.

Special thank you to Police Constable Stuart Ward (Football Hate Crime Officer), my Family and my team at New Era!

[Stuart Ward @Stuart_Ward2]

Really pleasing court result yesterday.

Thank you to @rioferdy5, all the witnesses and staff at @Wolves that came forward, provided statements and attended court to give evidence.
