Non-crime hate incidents should be scrapped, police leaders say
Non-crime hate incidents should be scrapped and replaced with a "common sense" system, police leaders are set to recommend.
The scheme would mean only the most serious incidents are recorded as anti-social behaviour. The recommendation is part of a review by leaders at the National Police Chiefs' Council (NPCC) and College of Policing, which is set to be published next month and given to Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood.
Non-crime hate incidents are perceived to be motivated by hostility or prejudice towards certain characteristics, such as race or gender, but do not meet the threshold of a criminal offence. Rather than logging hate incidents on a crime database, the plan would treat them as intelligence reports, with officers given a "common sense" checklist.
The checklist is intended to ensure officers target only serious anti-social behaviour, such as antisemitism, Lord Herbert of South Downs, chairman of the College of Policing, told The Telegraph. He said that non-crime hate incidents would "go as a concept.
