Home Department written question – answered at on 18 March 2009.
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if she will make it her policy to allow the separate identification of offences committed against the Jewish community under (a) the Racial and Religious Hatred Act 2006 and (b) section 18 of the Public Order Act 1986; what recent representations she has received supporting separate identification; and if she will make a statement.
From April 2009, the Annual Police Community Safety figures will add five data requirements on hate crime. These figures will enable us to identify the number of hate crimes reported due to an individual being targeted because of their race or religion. The Home Office is currently considering the potential for further subcategories within these broader categories.
