## TL;DR

This paper outlines a systematic review protocol to identify factors at the place-level that influence hate crime victimization.

## Contribution

The study introduces a structured approach to assess how place-related factors moderate hate crime risks.

## Key findings

- The review will synthesize empirical evidence on place-level factors linked to hate crime victimization.
- It will explore how risk and protective factors vary based on crime, victim, and cultural contexts.

## Abstract

This is a protocol for a Campbell Systematic Review. The review aims to synthesise the current empirical evidence on the places factors associated with hate crime victimisation. The review will also consider whether the risk and protective factors for hate crime vary according to moderating factors, such as the features of the crime, the victim, the place and cultural contextual factors.
