Police forces are attending and recording too many non-crime hate incidents according to a policing watchdog, but the Home Secretary has said they must report more.

The Chief Inspector of Constabulary Andy Cooke has released a report following a review into activism and impartiality in policing, commissioned by previous Home Secretary, Suella Braverman. The review considered (among other issues) the records of 120 non-crime hate incidents (NCHI). The report blamed a ‘risk-averse’ culture within police forces. However, the new Home Secretary Yvette Cooper has said she will reverse previous guidance aimed at limiting the recording of NCHI by police.
