Are hate crimes on the rise in U.K.?

The Hindu  

A vicious attack on a teenage asylum-seeker in London on Friday has put concerns about hate crimes in the country back in the spotlight. Sustained increase “Sadly, this is not an isolated incident, but part of a sustained increase in hate crime,” warned Diane Abbot, Labour spokesperson on home affairs issues, on social media over the weekend. “I am not sure you can connect a line in this case but certainly in the context of the referendum campaign concerns have been expressed about the xenophobic nature of some of the campaigning work,” he said, pointing to a warning last August from the UN committee on the elimination of racial discrimination, which expressed serious concern about the sharp increase in the number of hate crimes in England, Wales and Northern Ireland in the weeks before and after the referendum. “There is a risk that the process of exiting the EU — if not managed in the right way — may lead to expressions of intolerance and opposition to people of other nationalities that could be construed by some as invitations to take matters into their own hands.” The issue of hate crimes has come under increasing attention over the past year. The House of Commons’ home affairs committee is currently considering the issue of “hate crimes and its violent consequences”, pointing in its terms of reference to the rise in attacks on people from ethnic minorities and non-British nationality in the days immediately following the referendum.
