Hate crime has been on the rise in the United Kingdom since

And what can we do about it?

We need to work together to make sure hate crimes are not tolerated. This means making sure people feel safe when they go out in public and reporting any incidents to the police. It also means educating ourselves about how to spot signs of hate crime and being aware of our own biases.

The number of reported hate crimes has risen in the last year, according to figures released by the Office for National Statistics (ONS). In 2017/18 there were 2,816 recorded hate crimes, compared to 2,636 in 2016/17. The ONS said that the increase was partly due to better recording practices, but also because of a rise in reports from victims themselves.

We need to take action against hate crimes.

This rise in hate crimes comes after a period where there was a decrease in hate crimes. However, the government must now work harder to ensure that hate crimes are taken seriously by law enforcement agencies and prosecuted.
