Title: Hate crime and crimes against older people report 2010-2011 Summary: This is the fourth Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) hate crime annual report, and brings together information on CPS performance in prosecuting racist and religious hate crime, homophobic and transphobic crime, crimes against the older person and disability incidents. The format for the 20010/11 annual report has changed to reflect the move from quantitative targets to the quality of prosecutions. The shift can be seen in the increased significance of trends over time and Area performance compared with the national which both contribute to overall effectiveness. The report makes use of casework to highlight positive outcomes and provides examples of successful practice often supported by the contributions of others. The policy development, research and guidance that supports these outcomes, plays a critical role in improving performance and for that reason is also included. In line with government policy, we publish the underlying data used in our reports. The underlying data for this report can be found on the CPS website data section at www.cps.gov.uk/data/hate_crime/. Details: London: Crown Prosecution Service, 2012. 45p.

Author: University of Leicester Title: The Leicester Hate Crime Project: Findings and Conclusions Summary: Over a two-year period from 2012 to 2014 the Leicester Hate Crime Project team conducted groundbreaking research into acts of hate, prejudice and targeted hostility. Funded by the Economic Social and Research Council, this research - Britain's biggest ever study of hate crime victimisation - uncovered new insights into the nature and forms of these acts and their impact upon victims, families and wider communities. The broad aims of the Leicester Hate Crime Project were to examine people's experiences of hate, prejudice and targeted hostility; to understand the physical and emotional harms suffered by individuals and their families; and to identify ways of improving the quality of support available to victims. The study used a deliberately broad and inclusive definition of hate crime in order to capture the experiences of anyone, from any background, who felt that they had been victimised specifically because of their identity or perceived 'difference'. This framework enabled us to expand upon the range of victim groups and experiences typically covered within conventional studies of hate crime. Rather than focusing solely upon the five strands of victim identity (race, religion, disability, sexual orientation and transgender status) which are monitored by criminal justice agencies, we wanted to give a voice to victims who have tended to be peripheral or 'invisible' within academic research and official policy but whose victimisation can often bear all of the hallmarks of recognised hate crimes. The city of Leicester has an extraordinarily diverse population. It is home to substantial minority ethnic populations that are both newly arrived and well-established, as well as a wide range of faith, sexual and other minority communities, and it is this rich diversity which made Leicester a highly appropriate site in which to explore experiences of hate, prejudice and targeted hostility. This is a study which clearly has relevance to local policy, practice and activism, but which also has broader implications for other multicultural environments within the UK and further afield. This report presents the findings from the Leicester Hate Crime Project and has been structured to outline victims' experiences and expectations collectively, although where significant variations between and within groups have emerged, these have been identified. In addition to the comprehensive findings and recommendations included in this report, we have produced an Executive Summary, a series of themed briefing papers and a Victims' Manifesto for organisations to pledge support to. The briefing papers include the following: Briefing Paper 1: Disablist Hate Crime Briefing Paper 2: Gendered Hostility Briefing Paper 3: Homophobic Hate Crime Briefing Paper 4: Racist Hate Crime Briefing Paper 5: Religiously Motivated Hate Crime Details: Leicester, UK: University of Leicester, 2014. 86p., and five briefing papers Source: Internet Resource: Accessed September 11, 2014 at: http://www2.le.ac.uk/departments/criminology/research/current-projects/hate-crime/our-reports-1 Year: 2014 Country: United Kingdom URL: http://www2.le.ac.uk/departments/criminology/research/current-projects/hate-crime/our-reports-1 Shelf Number: 133279 Keywords: Bias-Related CrimesCrime StatisticsDiscriminationHate Crime (U.K.)Victims of Crime |
