Our ref: 0483/19 Could you please provide me with the total number of Islamophobic hate crimes for each year over the last five years? ( from 1st January 2013 to 31st December 2018). If it is possible, i would like the data to be broken down by the day they were reported. Please see the attached table which provides Islamophobic Hate Crimes recorded, broken down by date recorded, and Ward area. Please note recent increases in hate crime are predominantly associated with administrative change in relation to Force crime recording processes which have resulted in an increased likelihood of a crime being recorded following an incident report to the Police. Crime increases have been reported across a number of crime types this year and the increases in hate crime follow a similar pattern to related offences such as public order and low level violence without injury. The force has made improvements to how information about hate incidents is recorded. A number of sub-categories for the recording of faith and disability hate crimes are being introduced to get a better understanding of the impact of national and international events on local communities and improve and target services for victims. Recent publicity may also have encouraged victims of hate incidents and crimes to come forward and report their experience to the police. West Yorkshire Police support the annual Hate Crime Awareness Week in partnership with the Police and Crime Commissioner in order to highlight the issue of hate crime. The campaign aims to give people a better understanding of what hate crime is and encourage victims of hate incidents to report them. As part of our commitment to making communities safer and feel safer, West Yorkshire Police is committed to engaging with communities to increase the under-reporting of hate crimes and hate incidents. West Yorkshire Police employs specialist Hate Crime Co-ordinators across districts in order to assist investigating officers in identifying perpetrators, providing after-care support for victims and to work with communities to increase awareness of hate crime and reporting mechanisms. They also engage in joint working with partners such as local councils, Victim Support and the 142 third party Hate Incident Reporting Centres (HIRCs). HIRCs offer anyone who has experienced or witnessed a hate crime / incident the opportunity to report it in an alternative location to a Police Station. The Police and Crime Commissioner has a priority to tackle hate crime across West Yorkshire in the Police and Crime Plan 2013-18 and West Yorkshire Police has aligned a specific equality objective to increase awareness and reporting around hate crimes and incidents, and to provide victims with appropriate support.
