APPROACHES TAKEN IN OTHER JURISDICTIONS RELEVANT TO THE OFFENSIVE BEHAVIOUR AT FOOTBALL AND THREATENING COMMUNICATIONS (SCOTLAND) ACT 2012 ____________________________________________________ 134 ii INTRODUCTION In January 2017, the Scottish Government announced a review of hate crime legislation, chaired by Lord Bracadale.1 Lord Bracadale requested that, to assist the Review it its task, we produce a comparative report detailing principles underpinning hate crime legislation and approaches taken to hate crime in a range of jurisdictions. Work on this report commenced in late March 2017 and the final report was submitted to the Review in July 2017. Chapter 1 (What is Hate Crime?) explores what is meant by the term “hate crime”, noting that different definitions may properly be used for different purposes. It notes that the legislative response to hate crime can be characterised by the definition offered by Chakraborti and Garland: the creation of offences, or sentencing provisions, “which adhere to the principle that crimes motivated by hatred or prejudice towards particular features of the victim’s identity should be treated differently from ‘ordinary’ crimes”.

  • Still Getting Away with Murder: Disability Hate Crime in England
    Still Getting Away with Murder A report about Disability Hate Crime in England Disability hate crime: this means when somebody commits a crime against a Disabled person because of their impairment. Impairment: in the document, this is used to talk about a Disabled person’s medical condition, diagnosis or difference. This could be physical or mental. Not all Disabled people are comfortable with the word ‘impairment’. However, we are not using this word to talk about who the person is. That is a personal choice. Part A – A Summary of the report One out of five Disabled people say that they have faced unkind or threatening behaviour or even been attacked (Inclusion London, 2020). Disabled people: in this document, this means people with impairments who choose to be part of the Disabled people's movement in the UK. These people stand up for rights for Disabled people across the country. This document looks at the fight against disability hate crime in England over the last 10 years. In 2008, we wrote a report called Getting Away With Murder . Getting Away with Murder Report: this was a report that was written in 2008 by Katharine Quarmby, together with Disability Now, the UK Disabled People’s Council and Scope. It looked at Disabled people’s experiences of hate crime in 2008. Since then, there have been lots of changes in the ways that disability hate crime is dealt with. This document looks at how things have changed since the last report was written. It is hard to say how much change there has been over the last 12 years.

The Upside-down Kingdom of God: A Disability Studies Perspective on Disabled People’s Experiences in Churches and Theologies of Disability NAOMI LAWSON JACOBS Thesis submitted for the degree of PhD 2019 Department of Religions and Philosophies SOAS, University of London 1 Abstract This thesis argues that, in many churches, disabled people are conceptualised as objects of care. However, disabled Christians are capable of being active agents in churches, with service, ministry and theologies of their own to offer. In Part A, I explore the discourses that have historically functioned in churches to marginalise disabled Christians. Using a Foucauldian approach, I argue that the Christian pastoral model has a fundamental orientation towards individualism, addressing disability through frameworks of care and charity, rather than through a model of justice.

  • A Sociological Exploration of the Impact of Hate Crime on the Health and Wellbeing of People with Learning Disabilities in Scotland
    1 Narrative Report: A Sociological Exploration of the Impact of Hate Crime on the Health and Wellbeing of People with Learning Disabilities in Scotland Dr Phillippa Wiseman and Professor Nick Watson Scottish Learning Disabilities Observatory Introduction This narrative literature review focuses on hate crime, learning disability and wellbeing in Scotland. This review forms part of an ongoing piece of research linking hate crime to health and wellbeing for people with learning disabilities. Coverage and awareness of hate crime targeted at disabled people in general and people with a learning disability in particular have recently become much more prominent both in the mass media and in academic literature. There has for example been a great deal of publicity around a relatively small number of very serious and high profile hate crimes such as those targeted at Fiona Pilkington and Brent Martin (see Quarmby 2013). This has been accompanied by an increase in media coverage about the rising number of reported cases of disability hate crime. This increase in coverage notwithstanding there is evidence to suggest that a large number of disability hate crime incidents go unreported and that the statistics greatly under-represent the size of the problem and despite increased media attention directed towards disability hate crime it continues to receive relatively limited academic and policy attention in comparison to other forms of hate crimes (Sin 2014). In addition we know very little about disability hate crime by impairment group and there is very poor recording of hate crime by type of impairment. A report published by the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC 2011), claims that 1.9 million disabled people were victims of hate crime in the UK in 2009-10 yet only 1942 such crimes were reported in England, Wales and Northern Ireland in 2011, with the number of convictions as low as 523.

  • Offences (Aggravation by Prejudice) (Scotland) Bill
    AP14 Justice Committee Offences (Aggravation by Prejudice) (Scotland) Bill Written submission from the Equality and Human Rights Commission Introduction 1 The Equality and Human Rights Commission was established by the Equality Act 2006 and came into being on 1 October 2007. We are the independent advocate for equality and human rights across the three nations of Great Britain, and we work to reduce inequality, eliminate discrimination, strengthen good relations between people, and promote and protect human rights. We enforce equality legislation on age, disability, gender, gender reassignment, race, religion or belief, and sexual orientation and encourage compliance with the Human Rights Act. In Scotland, we co-locate and work in partnership with the Scottish Commission for Human Rights. 2 The Commission welcomes the opportunity to give evidence to the Justice Committee on the Offences (Aggravation by Prejudice) (Scotland) Bill. The Commission, and its legacy organisations, the Commission for Racial Equality (CRE), Disability Rights Commission (DRC) and the Equal Opportunities Commission (EOC), have been closely involved in the debate on criminal justice responses to hate crime in Scotland, with the CRE represented on the Cross-Party Working Group on Religious Hatredi, and both the DRC and the EOC members of the Working Group on Hate Crimeii. 3 The Commission has sought to build on this work from its legacy commissions, and is currently taking forward a number of pieces of work looking at legislative and policy responses to crime targeting different social groups and at how different types of offence disproportionately affect different sections of society. At the GB level, work is underway on identifying the priorities for promoting personal safety and security for disabled people, looking at criminal justice responses, but also those from the health and social care sectors.

It demeans victims and calls into question an open society’s commitment to pluralism and human dignity. The European Union (EU) has demonstrated its resolve to tackle hate crime with legislation such as the 2008 Framework Decision on combating certain forms and expressions of racism and xenophobia by means of criminal law. Nonetheless, the majority of hate crimes perpetrated in the EU remain unreported, unprosecuted and therefore invisible, leaving victims without redress for their suffering.
