Abstract	The category of hate crime is a recent legislative response to the increasing levels of antisocial, criminal and discriminatory behaviours and practices that target a wide spectrum of individuals on the basis of their identification within certain minority sociological subcultures. People with intellectual disability are often targeted for this kind of behaviour. Here, we report on an evaluation of one English city's efforts to instigate a street-based scheme to offer some security and protection to its intellectually disabled citizens. The physical location of the premises and the engagement of the staff employed therein have some bearing on their potential to be effective in offering shelter and support to distressed individuals. But even where premises are well situated with positive staffing, the absence of local records to list the uptake of the scheme leaves room for doubt about its overall effectiveness. (As Provided).
