2 results foundAuthor: Roberts, Colin Title: Understanding Who Commits Hate Crime and Why They Do It Summary: This study was commissioned by the Welsh Government to explore and assess what is known about the perpetrators of hate crimes and their motivations. By providing a critical analysis of the existing research evidence-base in this area, the study contributes to a more comprehensive and informed understanding of this kind of offending in order to improve policy and practice responses to it. Based upon a detailed review of the literature in terms of what is known about hate crime offenders and offending nationally and internationally, it is intended that the findings should frame and steer subsequent more detailed empirical analysis of hate crime data. The available data shows that of the 43,748 hate crimes recorded by the police in England and Wales in 2011/12: • 35,816 (82%) were race hate crimes; • 1,621 (4%) were religious/belief hate crimes; • 4,252 (10%) were sexual orientation hate crimes; • 1,744 (4%) were disability hate crimes; and • 315 (1%) were transgender hate crimes. In that year, there were 1,809 hate crimes recorded in Wales with a broadly similar pattern of offences: • 1,368 (76%) were race hate crimes; • 54 (3%) were religious/belief hate crimes; • 244 (13%) were sexual orientation hate crimes; • 122 (8%) were disability hate crimes; and • 21 (1%) were transgender hate crimes. Reflecting the harm associated with crimes of this type over the past two decades or so, there has been a rapid growth in the amount of policy and research attention paid to it as an issue. A significant proportion of this work has focused upon victims and victim perspectives. Far less research has been conducted into those responsible for causing harm to the victims.

Author: Williams, Matthew Title: All Wales Hate Crime Research Project Summary: This research study forms part of the All Wales Hate Crime Project, which was funded by Big Lottery (2010 - 2013) and led by Race Equality First in partnership with Cardiff University. The primary aim of the research was to generate robust data on both the nature of hate crime and hate-related incidents in Wales and the impact of that victimisation on individuals, their families and local communities. The study focuses on the 5 protected characteristics for hate crime recognised by the Home Office: - Disability; - Race & Ethnicity; - Religion & Belief; - Sexual Orientation, and - Transgender Status/ Gender Identity. However, the Project also recognises the existence of hate crime victimisation on the basis of age and gender and both of these identity characteristics are included and examined in the study1. The wide-ranging scope of the research ensures it has generated the most comprehensive dataset on hate crime victimisation in the UK at the date of publication.
