Police indicated that the number of hate crimes recorded increased in England and Wales this year.
As per the figures revealed by the reports, there are 155,841 offences recorded in the year to March, up 26 per cent from the last year marking the most significant annual rise since 2017.
As per the data emitted by the Home Office data, forces recorded around 109,843 race hate crimes, 8,730 religious hate crimes, 26,152 sexual orientation hate crimes, 14,242 disability hate crimes and 4,355 transgender hate crimes.
Some other crimes, too, have more than one factor that motivates crime.
The hate crimes among transgender people are also increasing by the most significant percentage of 56 per cent.
The category of religious hate crime rose to the highest level in 2012; the percentage increased by 37 per cent.
Sexual orientation hate crimes increased by 41per cent, and disability hates crimes by 43%.
The Home Office said trans issues had been majorly discussed on social media over the last year, which may have donated to the increase in related hate crimes.
“These figures are another reminder that the constant drumbeat of anti-LGBTQ+ sentiment in media and politics has a human cost,” said Nancy Kelley, chief executive of Stonewall.
The recent yet most significant crimes that happened across England have been talked about on social media for the past few months.
Famous Chris Kaba and Olivia Pratt-Korbel murder cases are significant examples of increasing brutality among the people.
Olivia Pratt-Korbel’s murder happened in Liverpool, where a nine-year-old girl was brutally shot to death in her chest at home with her mother.
This continued to threaten all the parents of school-going kids who go out to study; people fear their children are not even safe in their homes.
