There are many examples of prejudices existing against members of the Jewish people throughout history. The author therefore cited a number of examples in the introductory section to illustrate the negative attitudes of the majority population towards this ethnic community. Considering that the place where the Jewish community is among the most numerous in the world, is the UK, the author further elaborates on the extent and structure of hate crimes against Jews by years, trying to explain the dynamics of hate crimes committed. In the end of the paper author points to the conclusions that could be applied to reduce the victimization of members of the Jewish community.

KEY WORDS: hate crime / Jews / Great Britain / victims.
