Hate crime is defined as an offence which the victim or any other person considers to be driven by hostility towards their race, religion, sexual orientation, disability or transgender identity.
The Home Office said the increase in hate crime over the past five years is thought to have been driven by improvements in recording by police and a growing awareness of hate crime. It said the large percentage increases for transgender, disability and sexual orientation hate crimes were"partly due to the smaller number of these crimes", while more people may also be coming forward to report them.
In May 2018 former English Defence League leader Tommy Robinson was sentenced to his first jail term, sparking a series of protests, while in July US President Donald Trump visited the UK.
Most are labour party ex members who hate scum Corbyn

...Satan...laughing...spreads his wings...
Recorded... all those police officers sitting behind computers.. not actually being officers.. but taking notes....
Probably because more are being reported than before. Different groups form between the same species throughout nature.
Perhaps if the bbcnews and bbc stopped platforming racists and Fascists. Just a thought
What about crimes against disabled ppl as I just got called a cripple for asking someone to move there car out of a disabled parking bag, as they had no blue badge & got a mouthful then got called a cripple for haveing a blue badge it’s not the first time this has happened
And you still haven't worked out why really think about it
I just seen your report on the tv for this & it was racist. You had eyes for black, Asian & East Asian people but not a white eye. Do white not getting affected by racism & is it only white who commit racism? Because that's what your report implies. Guess what the attack in..
How can any measurement be possible when the definitions of 'hate' and 'crime' are constantly changing?
Unacceptable.
BorisJohnson . Boris is responsible for some of these hate crimes. Calling Muslim women letterboxes is a HATE CRIME! findborisaditch
Just as a question, do they class acts of terrorism as hate crimes or do they simply relabel them in which to cook the books. I mean the media refers to pedophiles, as groomers , and terrorists, as militants
It will obviously go up every time they change the definition of hate.
I would like to see a breakdown of the race hate crimes.
How many convictions? Because last time I checked an accusation didn’t indicate guilt
'We have learned to fly the air like birds and swim the sea like fish, but we have not learned the simple art of living together as brothers' - The Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. As true today as when it was first said.
What do they class as a hate crime. Saying hurty words?
Ah the crime of hurty feelings, what a load of bollocks
The BBC is guilty of a hate crime against Brexit. I'm probably guilty of hating the BBC.
Shame there's lots of people out there offended by the idea that they can't go around giving out abuse with no repercussions because they don't like a particular aspect of a person. If it weren't for them, there'd be no hate crime to report :)
Recorded doesn’t mean they actually happened. Anybody can do it.
And the Muslim extremism we have witnessed over this century has had no effect on this figure, tackle the haters of both sides and we might solve it
When someone saying 'I don't like that' is classified as a hate crime these statistics become worthless.
Fake crimes
don't forget over the last few years all the times they've been utterly useless at recording hate crimes again disabled people in particular..then factor in their incompetence where sm1 is intersectional. Maybe they are starting to record the sort of things they've failed to b4
Yes wonderful BBC focus on hate crimes (who defines hate?) rather than gang related knife crime that IS actually destroying lives.
Fake hate crimes🙉🙈🤔😂
Thats what happens when sending a mean tweet is classified as a hate crime 🙄
The Police now record the dictionary definition of a women being an adult human female as a hate crime. So I call bullshit on these numbers.
If anyone says...'this has nothing to do with Brexit', needs a slap!
