The second biggest dip in hate crime rates in England
Lincolnshire is just one of eight areas in England to record a fall in hate crimes reported to police, but instances have spiked more than 100% since the EU referendum, according to Home Office data.
In Lincolnshire, there was a 13% drop in hate crime reports from 2019/20 to 2020/21, with the figure falling from 759 to 664. It was the second biggest dip in the country, behind only City of London which soared away in the lead at 50%. He said: “Everyone has really pulled together in solidarity, and people coming forward they way they have showed not just the community spirit, but also that racial offence is intolerable – and that is reflected in these stats.
A similar pattern can be seen when the crime rates are broken down further, with just 1-4 people per 100,000 showing up in stats for religion-based hate crime, 6-10 people per 100,000 for disability discrimination, and 16-17 where sexual orientation was the target of the hate crime. “At Lincolnshire Police we have promoted that ethos, and while recording and reporting of hate crimes has increased, what is most important for us is to have the right, robust response to each and every case.”
