Response

I approached our Performance Review Unit for assistance with your request. An analyst within this unit has conducted a search of our Crime Management System - Connect which records complaints or allegations of those matters, which the Home Office specify should be recorded as 'crimes'. All our systems are designed and used first and foremost for Policing Purposes and have limited search capability. They provided me with the following information:

Question 1

Number of hate crimes against transgender people recorded:

Question 2

Number of hate crimes against where sexual orientation was a factor recorded:

Question 3 & 4

Please be advised that prosecution and/or conviction data (outcomes at court), are not recorded by South Yorkshire Police, this information may be available from the Ministry of Justice.

You may want to approach the CPS directly regarding this enquiry:
