Hate crimes are defined as those motivated by a prejudice or hostility towards a personal characteristic – such as race, religion, sexual orientation or gender.
There has been a significant rise on the numbr of hate crimes reported to police in the county
The 109,843 race hate crimes recorded nationally in 2021 marked the first time a single category has topped 100,000 over a year. The Home Office said transgender issues have been “heavily discussed on social media” over the last year, which may have contributed to the rise. West Mercia Police also recorded 378 offences on the basis of sexual orientation, 70 religious hate crimes and 308 against people with disabilities.
"Our own data actually shows levels of hate crime have remained fairly stable, slightly falling over the past year," she added.
