Hate Crime: Internet

Question

To ask His Majesty's Government, with reference to Protecting What Matters (CP 1540), published on 9 March, how many reports were made to the online hate crime reporting portal in each year for which figures are available; and how many investigations, prosecutions and convictions have followed.

Answer

The Home Office publishes annual statistics on police recorded hate crime. However, the Government does not currently hold the requested data on the number of reports made through True Vision, nor on the number of investigations, prosecutions and convictions arising from these reports.

True Vision is the online reporting portal used by police forces in England and Wales and is funded by the Ministry for Housing, Communities and Local Government.
