Written question asked by Emma Reynolds (Labour) on Monday, 14 October 2019, in the House of Commons. It was due for an answer on Thursday, 17 October 2019 (named day). It was answered by Chris Philp (Conservative) on Thursday, 17 October 2019 on behalf of the Ministry of Justice.
Hate Crime: Disability
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, how many people have been (a) prosecuted for and (b) convicted of offences where disability hate crime was a factor in each year since 2010.
- Answer
-
The Ministry of Justice publishes information on prosecutions and convictions by detailed offence. There is no specific offence under legislation for crimes involving disability hate crime, rather it is an aggravating factor in offences. This information may be held on court record, however, identifying these cases would require a manual search of court records, which would be of disproportionate cost.
