Freedom of information request reference no: 01.FOI.23.030876
I note you seek access to the following information:
Data on the number of hate crimes or alleged hate crimes against an individual’s gender identity reported to your Force in the years 2021 to 2023.
The Office for National Statistics records these reports on a yearly basis, nationally, however I would like these results by month.
If possible, I would like the data to be broken down by the number of reports each month between March 2021 and March 2023 as rows, as well as a column for each possible outcome (investigation ongoing, case closed no conviction or case closed conviction, etc) which contains the breakdown for this number as well as a final total, showing the full number of reports for each month.
Clarification -
In your request, you have sought access to hate crime data in respect of an individual’s gender identity between 2021 and 2023. A hate crime is defined on the MPS website. I have provided a link to this information below:
