Freedom of information request reference no: 01.FOI.24.035236
I note you seek access to the following information:
You kindly last provided us with data for 2020. We are updating our records.
We would like to know about antisemitic crimes and non-criminal antisemitic incidents recorded by the Metropolitan Police, with numbers of crimes and incidents individually broken down for each month of 2021, 2022 and 2023.
We will use the data to publish a crime audit to provide a valuable insight into the prevalence of antisemitic crimes and non-criminal antisemitic incidents in the United Kingdom.
Please note, the request relates to data that is not available on your website, after we conducted a search. If any of the information that we have requested is already in the public domain, please direct us to it with website links, as appropriate.
Our request is as follows:
Question 1a We understand the Metropolitan Police flags antisemitic crimes separately, please therefore provide us with:
The total number of antisemitic crimes recorded in each month of 2021, 2022 and 2023;
The total number of antisemitic violent crimes recorded, in each month of 2021, 2022 and 2023, which fell into the Home Office categories of “homicide”, “violence with injury” and “racially or religiously aggravated assault without injury”;
The total number of antisemitic crimes, in each month of 2021,2022 and 2023, that resulted in charges being brought; and
The total number of antisemitic non-criminal incidents recorded in each month of 2021, 2022 and 2023.
Question 1b If however, the Metropolitan Police does not flag antisemitic crimes separately, please search for crimes and non- criminal incidents in your CRIS using the following whole keywords (i.e. not parts of words, but whole words, so that when you search for “Jew”, entries containing “jewellery” are not returned). Since use of all the keywords might prevent you from answering this FOI request due to excessive cost, please only use the keywords (starting at the top) that can be used without incurring excessive cost. The keywords are: Jew/Jews/Jewish/Judaism Semite/Semitic/Semitism Antisemite/Antisemitic/Antisemitism Yid/Yids/Yiddo/Yiddish
When responding to Q1 or Q1a, please use the following table format, with the following headings: Month Number of antisemitic crimes recorded Number of antisemitic crimes involving allegations of violence* Number of antisemitic crimes resulting in charges being brought Number of antisemitic incidents reported *For the purpose of this request, antisemitic crimes involving allegations of violence are those antisemitic crimes which fell into the Home Office categories of “homicide”, “violence with injury” and “racially or religiously aggravated assault without injury”.
I have today decided to disclose the located information to you in full.
Please find below information pursuant to your request above.
Please ensure that the data provided is read in conjunction with the notes page of the attached spreadsheet to ensure correct interpretation of the data provided.
