RISING reports of anti-trans hate crimes could be partly down to politicians’ comments about trans people, the Home Office has said.
Anti-trans hate crimes rose in the 12 months to March 2023 by 11% to 4,732 offences while religiously motivated hate crimes were up by 9% to 9,387 offences. When last year’s statistics were published and showed a rise in transgender hate crimes – albeit a larger one of more than 50% in a year – the Home Office’s accompanying notes mentioned only social media as being a possible factor.
The guidance by the College of Policing on the recording of non-crime hate incidents instructed officers to consider whether there was genuine hostility in the incident or whether it could be considered freedom of speech or thought.
