FOI 312-24 Hate Crime Stats
Enquiry Reference: 312- 24
I write in connection with regards to your Freedom of Information request. Below is your request and our response.
This FOI request is seeking information in relation to recorded hate crimes and hate crime incidents for the two-year period from January 1st 2022 until December 31st 2023.
For the avoidance of doubt I require each year to be detailed separately so for each year separately (2022 and 2023) please provide details of:
- The total number of recorded hate crimes with them also being classified by reference to each ‘hate element’ separately (i.e. ‘race’, ‘disability’ etc).
