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 explanation regarding their search criteria:

Criteria Used:

Hate Crime - Criteria Used - SYP & crime only filter, Incident Created Date is between 01/01/2018 and 30/12/2025, Racial Indicator is equal to / is in Y, or Disabled Indicator is equal to / is in Y, or Religion Indicator is equal to / is in Y, or Sexual Orientation Indicator is equal to / is in Y, or Transgender Indicator is equal to / is in Y

Question 1

Please note, every effort is made to ensure that the figures presented are accurate and complete. However, it is important to note that data has been extracted from data sources used by this force for police purposes. The detail collected to respond specifically to your request is subject to the inaccuracies inherent in any large-scale recording systems and information assets.

The figures provided therefore are our best interpretation of relevance of data to your request, but you should be aware that the collation of figures/data for any requests may have limitations, and this should be taken into account when those data sets are used.

Police forces do not use generic systems or identical procedures for capturing the data. For these reasons this response to your questions should not be used for comparison purposes with responses you may receive from other police forces.
