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 statistics of hate crime reported to Northumbria Police for sexual orientation and transgender based hate crime for Northumberland over the past 4 years 01/01/2018-31/12/2022. If you can breakdown by month, that would be really useful.
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 with the caveats noted as follows.
• We are unable to supply data for a time period in the future, as per your submission. We have therefore taken the date as up to 31 December 2021 and not 2022.
• Hate crimes are based on the perception of the victim.
