Provision of information held by Northumbria Police made under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (the 'Act')
As you may be aware the purpose of the Act is to allow a general right of access to information held at the time of a request, by a Public Authority (including the Police), subject to certain limitations and exemptions.
You asked:
Please provide details of the number of incidents recorded where race or religion was an aggravating factor on the following days:
January 31, 2020
Feb 1, 2020
January 31, 2019
Feb 1, 2019
January 31, 2018
Feb 1, 2018
January 31, 2017
Feb 1, 2017
January 31, 2016
Feb 1, 2016
Please provide details of the type of crime and the number of incident:
GBH 3, ABH 4. Please also provide separate figures for racially aggravated and religiously aggravated crimes (ie. don't combine the two.)
After we sought clarity as to whether you were looking for crimes or incidents, as you appeared to be mixing the two in your terminology, you confirmed that you were looking for incidents.
In Response:
Following receipt of your request, searches were conducted with the Corporate Development Department of Northumbria Police. I can confirm that the information you have requested is held by Northumbria Police.
I am able to disclose the located information to you as follows, however the following should be borne in mind:
- Data was requested around Incidents, with information as to the type of crime.
- As incidents are not crimes, and do not always have crime codes associated with them, I have provided the opening information for each incident.
- One incident may have multiple types of hate associated with it.
- As such the overall figures for each type of incident may not equal the number of incidents.
