Question to the Home Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government whether the College of Policing or the National Police Chiefs Council report to them about any analysis those organisations have undertaken on the effectiveness of recording non-crime hate incidents in (1) reducing, and (2) preventing, hate crime; and, if so, how often.

The Home Secretary is clear a consistent and common-sense approach must be taken with NCHIs.

The National Police Chiefs’ Council (NPCC), supported by the College of Policing, is currently conducting a review on the use and effectiveness of NCHIs.
